RegionProperties Object


Description

The RegionProperties object. This object provides information relating to a profile region, including centroid, perimeter, rotation angle, moments of inertia, and axes.

Methods

Name Description
CentroidMomentsOfInertia Method that returns the moments of inertia about the centroid of the section.
GetTorsionProperties Method that returns torsion coefficients of sketch profile.
MomentsOfInertia Method that returns the moments of inertia about the sketch origin.
PrincipalAxes Method that returns the principal axes.
PrincipalMomentsOfInertia Method that returns the moments of inertia about the principal axes.
RadiusOfGyration Method that returns the radius of gyration about the principal axes.

Properties

Name Description
Accuracy
Application Returns the top-level parent application object. When used the context of Inventor, an Application object is returned. When used in the context of Apprentice, an ApprenticeServer object is returned.
Area Property that returns the area of the section in database units.
Centroid Property that returns the centroid of the section.
Parent Gets the parent object from whom this object can logically be reached.
Perimeter Property that returns the perimeter of the section in database units.
RotationAngle Property that returns the angle of rotation of the principal axes.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.

Samples

Name Description
Querying a sketch profile to get regions. This sample demonstrates getting region properties from a sketch profile.
True length of sweep feature This sample demonstrates the calculation of the true length of a sweep feature. If the centroid of the sweep profile does not lie on the sweep path, the true length of the sweep feature is not the same as the sum of lengths of the path entities.
