Assembly Info

This dialog provides summary information for all parts in a given Project Tree branch.

To access the dialog, in the Project Tree right-click the Assembly and select Info from the context menu.

Information includes the following:
  • Volume
  • Bounding box
  • Weight
    Note: Weight requires that material properties are defined for each part.
  • Center of gravity
In addition, a count on the types of parts (nuts, bolts, sheets, etc.) in the assembly branch are given as well as total number of facets.
Two types of facets are reported:
  • Geometry facets - those used to define the shape of the part
  • Results display facets - used to define the response mesh for creating result values for contour plots.
Information regarding the source of the geometry, import time and connection search times are also reported.
  • Geometry source: Source of the geometry or CAD file type.
  • Time geometry import: Time in seconds to import the geometry from file/cloud.
  • Time create geometry storage: This includes time in seconds for geometry repair, part identification, face identification and so on.
  • Connection search time: Time in secs for regular connection search through automatic connections dialog.
  • Connections overlap clean time: Time in secs to clean up regular connections created using automatic connections dialog.
