	Material density as a custom iProperty in Inventor.
	Density for parts containing a single material type can be calculated from their mass and volume. To add a custom iProperty containing the density value in your IPT file you can use the following simple iLogic macro: density = iProperties.Mass/iProperties.Volume iProperties.Value("Custom", "Density") = Round(density10001000, 4) & " g/cm^3" (omit the units suffix to use Density as a number)
