Utilizing materials and mass properties for assemblies

When creating assemblies, we may need to determine the mass, volume, center of mass, and other related mass properties. This information is necessary as it helps us understand our product from a physical perspective. As a result, they will help us develop or modify our product in case we ever want to adjust the mass, volume, and so on, to meet a specific requirement. Similar to when working with parts, we can evaluate mass properties within the context of assemblies. In this section, we will learn about setting new coordinate systems, editing materials for the parts within the assembly, and how to evaluate the different mass properties for our assembly.
