Shows the gross weight, which is the total weight of material needed to fabricate the part. The calculation formula depends on the part:
-
If the part has cross-sections defined in the profile catalog, the weight is calculated from part length (
LENGTH), the cross section area in the profile catalog, and the density of material. -
If the part is a folded or contour plate without a cross section area, the weight is calculated from plate overall height, overall length and density of material (property weight for plates in the material catalog).
-
For other profiles without cross sections (typically parametric profiles), the gross weight is calculated the same way as the
WEIGHT_NET, but cuts are not taken into account and the plate density value is used instead of profile density. -
For assemblies, shows the combined gross weight of parts included in an assembly. For bolts it shows the bolt weight.
