Does anyone still use interface parts with mass?

In the distant past, Car models could define flexbody interface parts with mass properties. There's no user interface for such a use case, so we're considering dropping support for these in the subsystem file.

Any objections?

What will that do to older models when you open them?

If you had an old subsystem file with interface part mass properties specified, like this:

[INTERFACE_PART]

USAGE = 'lca_front'

SYMMETRY = 'left'

MASS = 0.35

IXX = 0.001

IYY = 0.001

IZZ = 0.001

IXY = 0.001

IZX = 0.001

IYZ = 0.001

this block would be ignored, and the interface part would have zero mass and inertia.
