WorkingModel.areaProperties Method

Returns the AreaProperties object that has properties for getting the area, perimeter, centroid, etc for a collection of 2D sketch profiles and/or planar surfaces that all lie on the same plane.

Syntax

Python
C++

"workingModel_var" is a variable referencing a WorkingModel object.

# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = workingModel_var.areaProperties(inputs)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = workingModel_var.areaProperties(inputs, accuracy)

"workingModel_var" is a variable referencing a WorkingModel object.

#include <Fusion/Fusion/WorkingModel.h>

// Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = workingModel_var->areaProperties(inputs);

// Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = workingModel_var->areaProperties(inputs, accuracy);

Parameters

inputs

ObjectCollection

A collection of one or more 2D sketch profile and/or planar surface input objects to perform the calculations on. Supported input object types are 2D closed sketch profiles and planar surfaces. Object must all lie on the same plane. Calculation results reflect the sums of the input objects (i.e. total area of multiple sketch profiles)

accuracy

CalculationAccuracy

Specifies the desired level of computational accuracy of the property calculations. The default value of 'LowCalculationAccuracy' returns results within a +/- 1% error margin.

This is an optional argument whose default value is CalculationAccuracy.LowCalculationAccuracy.

Type	Description
AreaProperties	Returns an AreaProperties object that can be used to examine the area results.
