WEIGHT

Shows the weight of the object.

The calculation formula depends on the object type:

  • For parts with cross-sections defined in the profile catalog, the weight is calculated from the cross section area in the profile catalog (on the list of Properties on the Analysis tab), length ( LENGTH ) and density of material (property weight for profiles in the material catalog). The result is the same as calculating WEIGHT_GROSS.

  • For other profiles with no cross sections defined (typically parametric profiles), shows the net weight calculated using the profile volume and density of material. Fittings, cuts, weld preparations, and part adds affect volume calculation.

  • For parts with surface treatment, shows both the weight of the part and the surface treatment.

  • For reinforcement, shows the weight of one bar in the group. WEIGHT_TOTAL shows the weight of all bars in the group.

  • For assemblies, shows the sum of the part weights for each assembly.

  • For surface treatment, shows the weight of the surface treatment.

  • For bolts, shows the weight of the bolt element in the corresponding content type rows:

    • BOLT : shows the weight of the bolt.

    • NUT : shows the weight of the nut.

    • WASHER : shows the weight of the washer.
