You can customize your own list of CustomTools materials in the CustomOptions. SOLIDWORKS materials are retrieved automatically from the SOLIDWORKS settings.

TIP: The material information can also be retrieved based on the material defined in the SOLIDWORKS FeatureManager design tree. |
The mass is automatically calculated based on the material mass information and the value is automatically inserted or updated when selecting or modifying the selected material.
The total mass of an assembly is calculated based on the materials assigned to the parts included in the assembly.
