Measuring Geometry

 

The measured parameters of geometry depend on the selected filter.
For the "Select bodies" filter, the system measures the volume and weight of selected 3D model objects. The volume-mass characteristics are calculated from the finite-element mesh. If the grid is missing, then the calculation is performed from the data obtained from the AutoCAD geometric model in the process of creating a set of bodies (the corresponding option should be active while the "Set of Objects for FEA" command was being used).

The "Select faces" filter displays the area of the selected faces. As well as in other commands, various options for automated selection of faces are available.

Measuring area of the selected faces

 

The "Select edges" filter displays the length of the selected edges. Just like in other commands, various options for automated edge selection are available.
