The table like interface provides the user with an easy way of looking at a list of parts and the % sprung mass value and SVC array which can be toggled.
 
 
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Assembly
Select an assembly whose parts sprung mass variables you want to modify. The menu lists all open assemblies. (When opened from Adjust menu).

Display current selected assembly in SVC event dialog box (When opened from SVC event dialog box).
Subsystem
Select the subsystem whose parts sprung mass percentage you want to modify.
The menu lists all open subsystems. (When opened from Adjust menu).

The menu lists all subsystems from current selected assembly in SVC event dialog box (When opened from SVC event dialog box).
Filter Symmetry
Filter parts by symmetry, asymmetry or both.
Yes - Shows symmetry parts
No - Shows asymmetry parts
Both - Shows symmetry as well as asymmetry parts
Part Name
Displays a list of the parts in the Front/Rear svc array and of minor role any from the current assembly.
Mass
For each part in the list, provides the current mass. This field is for information and cannot be edited from the table.
% Sprung Mass
For each part in the list, provides the current sprung mass percentage.
SVC Array
For each part in the list, provides information as to whether the part is to be included in the front or rear array. If the part is listed as "any", it will not be included in either array specification, so will be considered fully sprung in the calculations.
Display: Single and
Select to display some or all the parts that exist in the Front/Rear svc array and also parts from subsystem with minor role any. In addition, you can select to display left or right parts, or both.
Note: Regardless of which parts are displayed, changing one of the % sprung mass in a symmetric pair automatically changes the corresponding % sprung mass. Therefore, your template-based product always maintains symmetry when you perform modifications using the Sprung Mass Modification Table.
Show SVC Array: Any and
Select to display some or all the parts with SVC type Front/Rear along with parts with SVC type any. In addition, you can select to display all the part by selecting Both.
Toggle Selection To
Select one of the options presented next:
Front (If modifying for front SVC array)
Change the SVC array type to front
Rear (If modifying for rear SVC array)
Change the SVC array type to rear
Any
Change the SVC array type to any (Parts with SVC Array type any will not be included into calculations and considered as fully sprung parts)
