Function IGetMassProperties( _
   ByVal Accuracy As Integer, _

) As Double

Dim instance As IModelDocExtension
Dim Accuracy As Integer
Dim Status As Integer
Dim value As Double
 
value = instance.IGetMassProperties(Accuracy, Status)

double IGetMassProperties( 
   int Accuracy,
   out int Status
)

double IGetMassProperties( 
&   int Accuracy,
&   [Out] int Status
) 

Parameters

Accuracy

• 0 = as is

• 1 = default

• 2 = maximum

Status

Status of the mass property results as defined in swMassPropertiesStatus_e

Return Value

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

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

The return value is a 0-based array of doubles as follows:

[ CenterOfMassX, CenterOfMassY, CenterOfMassZ, Volume, Area, Mass, MomXX, MomYY, MomZZ, MomXY, MomZX, MomYZ, Accuracy ]

You can use ISldWorks::GetUserPreferenceDoubleValue and swMaterialPropertyDensity to get the density of the SolidWorks part. If the user did not explicitly set the density, then SolidWorks uses a value of 1.0. You can also derive the density of the body by calculating:

Density = ( Mass / Volume )

This method returns metric units unless explicitly specified otherwise.

This method supports multibody parts.
