How to find the components which contain Sheet Metal in a large assembly? 



Solution

A trick to determine the SMD-parts in an assembly:


All SMD parts have recognizable "default" expressions. This is where you can 
search for via:


Menu --> Information --> Expressions --> List All Expressions in Assembly





You might get a huge list, but just do a text-search for e.g. 
Sheet_Metal_Material_Thickness, and all components can be found.
