How can we have empty material assignment inside mechanical when importing a CAD assembly

Erik Kostson

Say we have a CAD assembly where parts have been assigned material properties. How can we then have an empty material assignment inside mechanical when importing the CAD?

Erik Kostson

This is how it could possibly be done:

1. Set material properties (see image below)
2. Import CAD file
3. Refresh the Model Cell (A3) from WB
4. Go to Engineering data and CADMaterial (see libraries)
5. Add all materials as needed
6. Open Spaceclaim and run script (see below)

7. Open mechanical

   

Script

mat = Window.ActiveWindow.Document.Materials
locmat= mat.Values
im=mat.Count
for i in range(1,im):
   (locmat[i].Delete())
