Cast Unit Assembly Mass using Grasshopper

[Brad_Shipton]

Our precast walls consist of multiple concrete parts assembled into a single assembly. I would like to extract the mass of the panels to figure out some design loads. In our Tekla tables we use the WEIGHT_NET attribute to report the assembly mass, but when I use that in grasshopper it seems only to report the mass of the main part. Is it possible to extract the mass of the complete assembly?

It reports in kg. When converted it seems correct.

Hi Brad,

Just add ASEMBLY. in front or CAST_UNIT.

ASSEMBLY.WEIGHT_NET

Try that and let me know how you go.

It was reporting in kg. I should have known. The number was not exactly the same as the main part. This GH stuff is very handy.

thanks for looking.
