1.5.7.2.2. Physical properties from 3Dfindit

If the physical properties are set in the CNS classification on the 3Dfindit side, these are also transferred to the CAD system during export.

In 3Dfindit, the attributes of the CNS classification are displayed in the part information [Part information] docking window.

In Inventor, the physical properties can be called up under iProperties -> Physical tab page.

The following points show how Inventor behaves in different scenarios:

  • If a material was transferred from 3Dfindit, then this is created (the density results from this).

  • It is not possible to set the density directly, because the density must be defined by the material.

  • If a volume was transferred from 3Dfindit, the mass and density are calculated via Inventor.

  • If a mass was transferred from 3Dfindit, the volume and density are calculated via Inventor.

  • If a mass and a volume have been transferred from 3Dfindit, the density is always calculated directly. (Density from the material is overwritten | density = mass / volume)

  • Click on Update to calculate the mass, area, volume and density.
