Parameters

FilePathName

Document path and file name

ConfigurationName

Name of configuration to use

MPropsData

Array of doubles

Accuracy

• 0 = as is

• 1 = default

• 2 = maximum

Return Value

• in-process, unmanaged C++: Pointer to an array of doubles of size 13; last element is the accuracy at which mass properties are calculated 

You can get the density of the current SolidWorks part using ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceDoubleValue and swMaterialPropertyDensity. If the density has not been explicitly set by the user, then SolidWorks uses 1.0. You can also derive the density of the body from the following calculation:

Density = ( Mass / Volume )

Consistent with all other functions, this method returns metric units unless otherwise specified.

If this IModelDoc2 object is an assembly, then any suppressed components are not included in the mass property analysis. See IComponent2::GetSuppression to determine the state of each of the assembly components.

This method returns an empty array if mass properties are not calculated when saving the model. This is a system-level setting and is controlled by ISldworks::SetUserPreferenceToggle and swUpdateMassPropsDuringSave.

NOTE: The calculated origin for the return values is based on the default coordinate systems of the IModelDoc2, not on the a selected coordinate system.
