    How do I set the DENSITY of a solid (say a sphere) such that when I perform
    a TOOLS=>INQUIRY=>REGIONS/MASS PROPERTIES I get the correct mass of the
    solid? It always gives the same mass as volume (i.e. density = 1).

    Example:
    Mass: 4.1888
    Volume: 4.1888
    Bounding box: X: -1.0000 -- 1.0000
    Y: -1.0000 -- 1.0000
    Z: -1.0000 -- 1.0000
    Centroid: X: 0.0000
    Y: 0.0000
    Z: 0.0000
    Moments of inertia: X: 1.6755
    Y: 1.6755
    Z: 1.6755
    Products of inertia: XY: 0.0000
    YZ: 0.0000
    ZX: 0.0000
    Radii of gyration: X: 0.6325
    Y: 0.6325
    Z: 0.6325
    Principal moments and X-Y-Z directions about centroid:
    I: 1.6755 along [1.0000 0.0000 0.0000]
    J: 1.6755 along [0.0000 1.0000 0.0000]
    K: 1.6755 along [0.0000 0.0000 1.0000]
