Is there are way in Patran to rescale all existing mass in a model (NSM & densities) by a factor?

Question

I have a model that uses a WTMASS of 1 ,but want to rescale all densisites and NSM in the model to use a WTMASS of 0.00259 to integrate with other models. I found a mass properties management menu but it appears to add NSM. I would like to scale existing properties.

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

Yes. Please try Modify... Global option with Multiply Action near the bottom of the form and use the factor to multiply by. You will have to do two operations one for material (density) and one for NSM from properties form.

Thanks,

Sanjay.
