solid volume

[bryan314]

Anybody know the function to get the volume for a solid entity?

I guess this func will do???

 

char sld_compute_props(int ,double * const,double (* const)[3],double *,double *)

 

but I dont know the usage..

[bryan314]

The following works. Haven't been able to decipher all of it yet.

 

extern DllExport MC_BOOL sld_compute_props(int tag_in, p_3d centerofgravity_out, matrix_33 unknown_matrix_out, double * volume_out, double * unknown_real_out);

good

 

 

from help document..

 

Analyze- Solid (volume) properties dialog box

Use this dialog box to view:

1. Solid volume and mass relative to a defined density

2. Center of gravity

3. Moment of inertia relative to a selected axis line

[bryan314]

The second double doesn't seem to be mass. Mass seems to be a calculated value on the dialog box. Mass = Volume * Density from the help)

 

It might be Moment of inertia with the matrix being the axis line. I can't check my values to mastercams because everytime I try to select a line for mastercam to calc Moment of Inertia it crashes. Doh.

 

But since I only needed volume, the function will work for me.
