Mass Property Functions
Mass Property Function
Description
massprop_param
Assigns or obtains the value of the mass property parameter.
 
* This function is defined only when the mass properties of a model are assigned through a file.
You can write the following relations:
To assign a value to a mass property parameter:
massprop_param(<"mass property name">)= value
To obtain value of a mass property parameter:
"Modelname" = massprop_param(<"mass property name">)
where mass property name can be one of the following: AREA, VOLUME, DENSITY, XCG, YCG, ZCG, IXX, IYY, IZZ, IXY, IXZ, IYZ, INRT1, INRT2, and INRT3.
For example:
massprop_param ("XCG") = 10.5
Sets the value of the X-coordinate of the center of gravity to 10.5.
my volume = massprop_param ("VOLUME")
Obtains the value of the volume for the given model.
material_param
material_param (“PARAM_NAME”,“MATERIAL_NAME”)—Returns the value of “PARAM_NAME” from “MATERIAL_NAME” of the current model.
material_param (“PARAM_NAME”)—Returns the value of “PARAM_NAME” from the currently assigned material in the current model.
mp_mass
Returns the mass of a model part or assembly.
mp_mass (<"string">)
where string is an expression that is evaluated to string value.
For example:
mp_mass (“”) — returns mass of the given model.
mp_mass (“25:”) — returns mass of a component model (ID=25) that belongs to an assembly.
mp_mass(“25:32:”) — returns the mass of the component (ID=32) of a sub-assembly having component ID=25 that belongs to a top-level assembly.
mp_assigned_mass
Obtains mass of a model.
mp_assigned_mass (<"string">)
 
* This function is defined only when the mass properties of a model are assigned through a file.
mp_surf_area
Returns the area of a model part or assembly.
mp_surf_area (<"string">)
mp_volume
Returns the volume of a model part or assembly.
mp_volume (<"string">)
mp_cg_x
Obtains the X-coordinate of the center of gravity of the model.
mp_cg_x (<"string1">, <"coordinate system name">, <"string2">)
All 3 arguments are strings.
For example, mp_cg_x (“”, “my_csys”, “”) — obtains the X-coordinate of the given model in a coordinate system, named my_csys.
mp_cg_y
Obtains the Y-coordinate of the center of gravity of the model.
mp_cg_y (<"string1">, <"coordinate system name">, <"string2">)
mp_cg_z
Obtains the Z-coordinate of the center of gravity of the model.
mp_cg_z (<"string1">, <"coordinate system name">, <"string2">)
