Bill of Materials report

The Bill of Materials report in MI Materials Gateway analyzes the materials assigned to your BoM and calculates weight roll-ups. You can view it in a range of formats: PDF, XML, Microsoft Word or Excel, or as a comma-separated text file.

The report shows a list of parts or bodies in your BoM, with the material and mass of each part or body, and the total mass of the BoM.

For each part or body that has a material assignment, the report shows:
  • The name of the part
  • The part count (the number of instances specified in the BoM)
  • The material currently assigned to the part
  • The part mass (in kg)
The report also shows the total mass of the BoM, and the total number of parts or bodies analyzed (including multiple instances, where applicable.)
Note: If a part or body in the BoM has no material assigned, its mass cannot be included in the calculations.

For each part or body that has a material assignment, the mass used in the report is its Mass value in the CAD part model or product structure. The mass of any surface treatment that might be assigned in MI Materials Gateway is not included.
