Searching for how to measure mass

After searching for a while on how to measure mass, I heard of a function on SolidWorks cause MassPROP (Mass Properties). It was tough to find it, but after looking for a little while it turned out to be right in front of my eyes. Just going to Tools, it was one of the many choices.

Multibody Parts

This tutorial had three different quick tutorials. The first one was Body Intersection, which involves combining two bodies and shedding the overlapping parts.


In the second tutorial, the goal was first to merge two bodies into one solid body. After making the first part, which connected the two bodies together, the next goal is to make copies of it at equal lengths. To do this, the sweep feature was used.


In the final tutorial, the goal is to make a connecting piece between the two cups. First, the cups had to be shelled, and next extrude command was used. Next, a few fillets were added and the connecting piece was completed.
