Parameters

NumBodies

Number of bodies in the model

BodyListIn

• in-process, unmanaged C++: Pointer to an array of bodies in the model of size NumBodies

VBA, VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI: Not supported

See In-process Methods for details about this type of method.

Return Value

True if the specified bodies are used for calculating mass properties, false if not

This method lets you select which solid bodies to use when calculating mass properties, much like a end-user selecting the bodies via the interface.

NOTE: If a sheet (surface) body is specified, it is ignored and false is returned.

The results of the mass property calculations vary based on whether or not this method is used.  

If the document from which the MassProperty object came is an assembly, then any body from any of the child components can be used. To obtain the body, call IComponent2::GetBodies2. Your application does not need to make a copy of the body or apply a transform to the body.
