Re: Material listing in BOM

'Setup>Material>Assign' has always been good for analysis in Mechanica, but I've never been able to figure out why it was wasted re: BOMs. No correlation that I've found, whatsoever! You'd think there would be, wouldn't you!?! (Well, of course, as a reasonable human being, you would ~ sigh ~ big mystery: who are these dolts that write these programs and how to do they get these well-paying positions and who are the numb-nuts that trust them to do anything!!!!!!!) sigh... yeah, too many questions... deep breathing, in 1-2-3  out 1-2-3, repeat...... {It's all about pinching the nickel til the buffalo shits} Somehow, somewhere down the line, you'll find that if you pay the right person enough money, it will all become clear. Then, you'll really be in the club and we'll never hear from you again. Bon chance!
