Create an Inertia Measure

Define an inertia measurement for the simulation. The inertial properties created for the part are used to obtain the mass of the beam as the dimensions are altered during the Design of Experiments. The inertia measure is captured as an output when the Design of Experiments process is run.

  1. Select the Cantilever Beam tab to return to your beam model in Part Design.
  2. From the tree, select the beam PartBody.
  3. From the Tools section of the action bar, click Create Inertia Data .
    The Measure Inertia Part dialog box appears.
  4. Select Volume for the selection mode.
    The dialog box displays the surface area, volume, and mass of the beam and the coordinates of its center of gravity.
  5. Click OK.
    The MeasureInertia feature appears in the tree.
