PMILLER Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited January 16, 2018 by PMILLER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Looks like there is a bug in the Property Browser. Try entering the Mass Density in the Part Property dialog instead, that seems to work. I will file a bug report for the Property Browser problem.
