Mass properties
The mass properties of an object designed in SOLIDWORKS is how we're going to be answering questions on the exam. We're going to first design a part, we're going to submit and modify the part, and then we're going to go and weigh that part, and hopefully we've got the right answer to input into the exam. To get to the mass properties we have a couple of different options. One, if you click on the evaluate toolbar. If you don't see the evaluate toolbar, you can always right-click on any one of these tabs, like sketch or features, and it shows you all the available toolbars. So, make sure you turn on evaluate. So, under evaluate I've got mass properties right there, and if I click on it you can see I've got a dialog box that pops up. It's showing me the density of the material I have chosen. It's giving me my mass in grams, and volume, surface area, a lot of great information is inside of here. But number one, notice the density. It says 0.0085. Look at my material. I have brass…
