Good morning, I am new to the forum and solidworks. up to 3 months ago I used pro/e. I would like to know if you can insert in a note the value of the volume of the part, but update to every change. In my case I have to model a tank and without having to always calculate the mass properties I would like to check the volume value in real time at any change of any quota.

greetings and good we if no one answers today.

If you have the tank as a sheet, you have to draw a control volume by taking its geometry and try not to overturn it. in file / property / add what you need and call it as you want and choose as a volume variable. Clearly, you'll get your sludge and the control line.

the volume of the part is, if the volume contained, then you have to generate an internal solid that represents the volume and from them you extract the volume parameterically.
 
I tried. I knew I had to create a solid inside to simulate the volume, but I didn't know how to display the value. Anyway I created the volume property to which I associated the value of "sw-volume@poppi1.sldprt" and it works.

Thank you.

in pro/e was a bit easier because I displayed the value of the parameter on the model tree.

Now, however, since the length units of the part are mm, it gives me the volume in mm^3. I would like to insert a parameter that goes to extract the volume value and divide it for 1000000. What is the correct syntax?

don't you first set the document units in dm3?

I have seen that these are your first messages, I ask you to present yourself in the appropriate section and read the rules to avoid committing infringements.

Hello and welcome
 
in unit settings there are all units of the world except dm^3.

cmq the fact of exeuiting equations using sw parameters would also be useful for other applications. the fact of using them for the trivial calculation of the volume I need from example
