Calculate mass and balance rollup for a structure

Calculate and view the mass and balance rollup for structures to manage your mass and balance targets. For a structure in which you have created partitions, you can manage your mass and balance targets at the partition level.

You can calculate and view the mass and balance rollup for the aligned engineering BOM. If the mass and balance values are available for both the design structure and engineering BOM, the mass and balance values from the engineering BOM are given higher precedence and are considered for rollup. If a value is not available in the engineering BOM, only then does Teamcenter consider a value from the aligned design structure. A rollup report is generated based on the precedence order set by your system administrator.

Procedure

1. To calculate the rollup value for a structure, open the structure.

To calculate the rollup value for a partition, from Partition Scheme, select the required scheme.

By default, the structure opens in the partition scheme that is set as the primary scheme.

2. Click Rollup > Create Report.
3. In the Create Rollup Report panel, edit the name of the rollup report if required.
4. In the Template list:
   • Select the Mass Properties template to calculate the rollup of mass, area, volume, and density.
   • Select the Mass and Balance Properties template to calculate the rollup of center of mass (CoM), moment of inertia (MoI), product of inertia (PoI), area, volume, density, and radius of gyration (RoG).

If you select the Mass and Balance Properties template, the rollup report shows the rollup charts for the visual analysis of CoM.

• Select the TC default rollup template template to create comma-separated rollup reports for mass, CoM, MoI, or PoI. This rollup is based on the Design mass and not on the precedence order.

5. To create the rollup report in the background or foreground, select or clear the Run in Background check box. If you choose to create the rollup report in the background, you receive a notification in Alerts once the report is generated.
6. Click Create Report.

The report opens in a new browser tab.

For the elements in the structure with Quantity set to As Required (A/R), Teamcenter internally sets the quantity as 1 during the mass rollup calculation.

The topmost element of the structure shows the rollup calculation for the entire product, that is, it considers the structure elements in partitions as well as the unassigned structure elements (the elements that are not assigned to any partition). However, an individual partition shows the rollup calculation considering the structure elements only from that partition.
