Parameters

CoordinateSystem
Mass: Returns the mass of the assembly.
Volume: Returns the volume of the assembly.
Area: Returns the surface area of the assembly.
CenterOfMass: Returns the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the center of gravity of the assembly.
CenterOfVolume: Returns the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the center of volume of the assembly, made with respect to the global origin.
GlobalMoments: Returns the lxx, lyy, lzz, lxy, lxz, and lyz components of the global moments of inertia.
PrincipalAxis1: Returns the orientation of the first principal axis.
PrincipalAxis2: Returns the orientation of the second principal axis.
PrincipalAxis3: Returns the orientation of the third principal axis.
PrincipalMoments: Returns the lxx, lyy, and lzz components of the principal moments of inertia.
RadiiOfGyration: Returns three values that specify the radii of gyration.

Remarks

If no parts or subassemblies are part of the selection set, the physical properties are computed for the entire assembly.
