Changing Value in properites

Recommended Posts

So I ran into an interesting phenomenon while working in IronCAD.

 

I am drawing a gate that has a 3/4" Expanded Flattened Mesh welded onto it.

 

As I have not found a tool or way to easily draw this, I drew a flat 1/8" Sheet, and made it semi transparent.

 

In order to get the right weight on the material, I was trying to change the mass density of the product and multiply it by the %Opening of the mesh.

 

3/4" Expanded Flattened Mesh is 68% Open, Aluminum has a mass density listed as 0.044 KG/In3, so with 68% Open I tried to change the field to say 0.014 KG/In3. Any Value I entered in the mass density field, was divided by a factor of 2.2, which made working with this field kind of frustrating. Is there some options check box or property I can change so that it allows me to enter a value, and it uses the value I enter?

 

Edit: I am running IronCAD 2017, I have not tested yet if this happens in IronCAD 2018.
