Samples

Name Description
Mass Properties from Part This sample demonstrates getting mass properties from a part. This sample is specific to a part document, but the MassProperties object can also be obtained from an Assembly document and from component occurrences. To run the sample you must have a part document open that contains a solid.
Computing mass properties without dirtying document This sample demonstrates getting mass properties from a part without dirtying the document (i.e. without caching the computed results in the document). This sample is specific to a part document, but the MassProperties object can also be obtained from an Assembly document and from component occurrences.
Work point at mass center This sample demonstrates creating a fixed work point and edit its position. It does this by computing the the center of mass of the part and creating a work point at that position. Subsequent runs of the sample reposition the work point at the new center of mass.
