Implicit Body, Scalar Field, Scalar, 1.1.0
Mesh, Scalar, 2.1.0
About this Block
What it does: The Mass Properties block calculates the following properties of a surface mesh or an implicit body: Center of Gravity, Mass, Principal Moments, and Volume. The results can be found in the Properties tab of the Information Panel. The block performs a series of volume integrations to obtain its results. Tips:- The density input must be a constant for this block.
- If only the center of gravity or volume results are needed, any density input above zero can be used, and those calculations will still be accurate.
