Non-Structural Mass Deleted Between Iterations

<< < (2/2)

Phil:
A support ticket has been created to investigate this issue.  When resolved, this topic will be updated.

Phil:
This was a confirmed error with the import of non-structural masses from models with SI units.  This error has been resolved as of HyperSizer Version 5.3.31.

HyperSizer User:
I've added a non-structural mass to the "Added Weight" check box on the FEM Interface options dialog.  Should this additional mass show up in the weight summary after running Hypersizer?

Phil:
The entry of non-structural mass either imported from the finite element model or entered into the "added weight" field on the Options tab of the sizing form will not affect the weight results displayed in HyperSizer.  The weight results shown on the Sizing form or on the Summary tab of the Project Setup form reflect only the structural weight and do not include any added weight or non-structural mass.

The added weight included for a component WILL be reflected in the *.PM1 export of properties and materials for the next FEA iteration.
