How to Calculate Mass values for a flexible component in an assembly and propagate it to Windchill PDMLink
Modified: 22-Oct-2025
Applies To
- Creo Parametric 7.0 to 12.4
- Windchill PDMLink 12.1 to 13.1
Description
- Difficulty in propagating calculated mass property values to Windchill for flexible components in Creo
- Set up involves system parameters PRO_MP_MASS, PRO_MP_VOLUME, and PRO_MP_AREA designated to Windchill
- Problem arises when users apply flexibility to components in assemblies
- Change in flexible dimension leading to different mass than when opening the component individually
- Mass property values need to be component parameters designated as attributes on Windchill CAD Document Uses link
- Seeking method to assign PRO_MP_MASS value to the relevant component parameter in the assembly
