Configurable product automatically adds a virtual product instead of a Simple Product

[Jojobaa]

Hi,

When we create a configurable product and add a custom variation product to it, this added  variation product automatically is a virtual product. How can I add a Simple Product to the Configurable Product instead of a Virtual Product? See screenshot: http://prntscr.com/nrz03y

@Vimal Kumar Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't tell me how to add Simple Product to an Configurable Product. If I add a custom product to a Configurable Product here: http://prntscr.com/ns97vf it automatically creates a Virtual Product instead of a Simple Product.
How do I add a Simple Product to a Configurable product?

Hi @Jojobaa 

I got your point. 
You need to add some weight for the product, without weight Magento treat as a virtual product.
When you will add weight and save then product will converted into simple product.
Please find attachment for the reference.

Hi @Vimal Kumar I added the "Weigth" to the attribute but it still automatically creates Virtual products. See screenshots: http://prntscr.com/nspf5b and http://prntscr.com/nspg4c and http://prntscr.com/nspgpd

It will create virtually first...

You can add weigh later after create configurable product.

When you will add weight to these virtual products then Magento will change product type to simple.
