How to calculate Centroid/Center of Gravity of a Body

[Anonymous]

I have couple of bodies in a Component Definition.

I wish to calculate Centroid (or Center of Gravity) of an individual body. How?

I found RegionProperties having Centroid as a field, but thats avialable for Profile, but not for the Body. Any clues?

Hi,

You could simply copy the solid into a temp document and check things there as done in this blog post:

Is there any programmatic (API) way to get centroid (CG) of a Body?

Only MassProperties has such info and that is for all the SurfaceBodies in the document.

In the Object Browser (in VBA or Visual Studio) or in the help file you can look for MassProperties to see all the objects that have that property.
