Weight
Weight
records the mass of a part or assembly when that information is provided or can be estimated. It stores the value, units, calculation method, and confidence score. The model may link to materials, volume estimates, balance points, or notes about whether the weight includes packaging or hardware. Having weight data structured enables logistics planning, cost estimation, and compliance with shipping or lifting regulations. It also helps compare design revisions for lightweighting efforts and supports quality checks where weight is used as a proxy for material completeness, while feeding analytics that monitor weight creep across product generations and programs to support sustainability initiatives.
