Verify if Weight and Balance Management is configured correctly

You can verify if Weight and Balance Management is configured correctly by performing certain steps, such as updating the column arrangement with mass and balance columns, adding or updating values for any editable weight types, and calculating mass rollup for a structure.

Procedure

1. Open a structure in Active Workspace. The weight and balance columns are hidden by default. To add the weight and balance columns:
   • Click to the right of the column headings to display the Arrange panel.
   • Click Column Arrangements and then from the list, select Mass and Balance.
   • Click Arrange.
2. Add or update the values for the Budget, Estimated, or any other editable weight types for the structure.

If CAD data is available for the assembly, From Design, Center of Mass, and Moments of Inertia and Products of Inertia properties are autopopulated.

3. (Optional) If you want to display additional columns such as Center of Mass, Moments of Inertia, and Products of Inertia, add the attributes for their properties to the column configuration input file. The following examples show the format:

<ColumnDef columnName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_CoMX" filterable="true" hidden="false" objectType="Awb0ConditionalElement" propertyName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_CoMX" width="300"/>
<ColumnDef columnName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_CoMY" filterable="true" hidden="false" objectType="Awb0ConditionalElement" propertyName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_CoMY" width="300"/>
<ColumnDef columnName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_CoMZ" filterable="true" hidden="false" objectType="Awb0ConditionalElement" propertyName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_CoMZ" width="300"/>

<ColumnDef columnName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_PoIXY" filterable="true" hidden="false" objectType="Awb0ConditionalElement" propertyName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_PoIXY" width="300"/>
<ColumnDef columnName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_PoIXZ" filterable="true" hidden="false" objectType="Awb0ConditionalElement" propertyName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_PoIXZ" width="300"/>
<ColumnDef columnName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_PoIYZ" filterable="true" hidden="false" objectType="Awb0ConditionalElement" propertyName="wnb0_bl_Asserted_PoIYZ" width="300"/>

4. Verify if the additional columns that you have added are displayed on the user interface.
5. Calculate the mass rollup for the structure.
6. View the existing rollup reports.
7. Verify the rolled up values.
