I have been trying to use the aggregate_mass function through the expression builder to get what I need, but aggregate_mass return values do not change when the mass properties are changed through design variables (with arrays and DVs).
- I have tried parameterizing in Arrays as well as in Design Variables and both do not update when design variables alter mass properties.
- I have tried making computed measures as well, and those do update when design variables alter mass properties, but upon loading an exported .cmd file, it gives the error that the component of mass properties necessary in the aggregate_mass function "is not a valid parameter". Screenshot attached. So that's also not an option for batch mode unless I can get it to work somehow. These measures work well within a single session of ADAMS View, but when loaded give an error and zero out the measure.
Is there a way to update these values when I run in batch mode? Currently the only way to update the values that I've seen is to go back into the parameterized expression, hit "Evaluate", and click "ok" back down out of the tree. Available resources also constrain me to using Requests (.res files) as the sole output from my batches.
Thank you for any help.
