Mass properties

  1. Hi!

    Can someone explain me how can I change density of a solid, so mass wouldn't
    be exact as volume. What is the point of mass if density is allways 1?

    Thnx

  2. My guess is that in order to be backward compatible with R12 (I think it
    was)
    massprop reports both volume and mass.

    R12 had a file in which you could store various material data such as
    density
    and mass prop did then report mass.

    So with a density of 1.0 all our models are made of water!!
