hello friends welcome to free cad tutorial and in this tutorial we will
0:03
learn how we can find the mass weight volume etc in free cad if you have used
0:10
the solidworks then with just a single click you can get these details and if
0:16
you click on this mass properties in solidworks then you will get these
0:20
details like density mass volume surface area in free cad we can get details as
0:28
we get in a SOLIDWORK with a single click for that we will install a micro
0:34
so we will head over to the tool then add-on manager and here I will search
0:41
for FC info so here is that micro click on it and install it as I have already
0:51
install it so I will directly run it so I will go to the micro and then click on
0:59
micro and I will select here FC micro and I will say execute so now if I select
1:11
on my bracket here so it is showing name document bracket and if I scroll down
1:19
here then I will get here weight so as we are getting the weight here 131 and in SOLIDWORKS we are getting 133 which is very
1:36
close and then volume 16744 and here we are getting the volume 16744 which is very accurate
1:52
and if you go for the surface area this is the 10406 so here is a surface area
2:03
10406 so use of this micro FC info we can get the same details like
2:13
SOLIDWORKS but we will get some additional details here and if you
2:18
observe here that it is also showing the cost of the material and we can change
2:26
our material from here as it is a steel part so I have selected the metal iron
