How to create swatch as simple product, which is created through configuration in Magento 2.2.6?

Question

I have created a product of type simple. After that, I have created a swatch for the same product through the "configuration" tab on the same edit page.

When we create a swatch through the "configuration" tab, it creates a new product with visibility type "Not Visible Individually" and product type "virtual".

I want when products created through "configuration" tab on the same edit page it should be the type of "simple"

Please check screenshots:

Answer 1

After generating configurable products using configurable tab.

Set weights of all associated products

If you don't add weight for each of your simple products, it will set it as virtual products
