A Single Face
To calculate the area and area properties of a selected face, the face must be completely bounded by elements.
Creo Elements/Direct Drafting calculates and displays the following area properties for a single face:
• Number of holes in the face.
• Density of the face.
• Perimeter length of the face (outer perimeter).
• Area.
• Center of Area (= Center of Mass).
• Principal Axes (of Inertia through the Center of Area).
• Second Moments of Area about principal axes.
• Second Moments of Area about coordinate system axes.
• Product of Second Moment of Area about coordinate system axes.
• Moments of Inertia about principal axes.
• Moments of Inertia about coordinate system axes.
• Product of Moment of Inertia about coordinate system axes.
• Section Moduli (about principal axes).
• Distance from first neutral axis to extreme fiber.
• Distance from second neutral axis to extreme fiber.
• Radii of Gyration.
• Angle between coordinate system and principal axes.
