Summary


Details

In NX Assembly Navigator different masses for bodies are displayed

Solution

How does this relate to the part attribute MassPropMass (NX_Mass) ? 

The weight properties is invisible to user and no feature attached to it, which is stored on part. 
The corresponding part attributes (such as MassPropMass/NX_Mass) are created under the 'Material' category. 
These attributes will get update along with the weight properties updates. The calculated weight properties will become out-of-date once part has been changed.

1.User can manually using 'Advanced Weight Management' command to calculate the weight properties.
2.Or turn on the toggle 'Update Mass Properties on Save' in part properties dialog, then weight properties will automatically update on part save.

Notes and References

NOTE: The weight properties is not always get update on calculate, unless the weight status is not OK or the accuracy for calculation is set as greater than the old one.
