Set properties for virtual components

Add property information to a virtual component such as part number and description.

1. Right-click a virtual component in the browser, and then click iProperties.
2. In the iProperties dialog box, enter the component properties.

Note:

• A volume and mass can be entered for virtual components. When a virtual component has a volume and mass, the moments of inertia, surface area, and center of gravity of an assembly using virtual components can be inaccurate. Possible reasons are:
• The location of virtual component cannot be defined other than the origin of the assembly.
• The surface area and moments of inertia of virtual components do not exist.
