PhysicalProperties Object

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Fusion/PhysicalProperties.h>

Description

The physical properties of a Component, Occurrence or BRepBody

Methods

Name	Description
classType	Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType().
getPrincipalAxes	Method that returns the principal axes.
getPrincipalMomentsOfInertia	Method that returns the moments of inertia about the principal axes. Unit for returned values is kg*cm^2.
getRadiusOfGyration	Method that returns the radius of gyration about the principal axes. Unit for returned values is cm.
getRotationToPrincipal	Gets the rotation from the world coordinate system of the target to the principal coordinate system.
getXYZMomentsOfInertia	Method that gets the moment of inertia about the world coordinate system. Unit for returned values is kg*cm^2.

Properties

Name	Description
accuracy	Returns the accuracy that was used for the calculation.
area	Gets the area in square centimeters.
centerOfMass	Returns the center of mass position
density	Gets the density in kilograms per cubic centimeter.
isValid	Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
mass	Gets the mass in kilograms.
objectType	This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object. It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType():
volume	Gets the volume in the cubic centimeters.

Samples

Name	Description
Get Physical Properties API Sample	Script that demonstrates getting physical properties using the API. When this script is run it will create a new document, build a simple model, and get the various physical properties from the model.
