Parameters

CoordinateSystem: Returns the coordinate system relative to which the properties of the model are computed.
Status: Returns the status of the physical properties of the model. The physical properties can be non-existent, out-of-date, or up-to-date.
Volume: Returns the volume of the model.
Area: Returns the surface area of the model.
Mass: Returns the mass of the model.
CenterOfGravity: Returns three values that specify the x, y, and z coordinates of the center of gravity of the model.
CenterOfVolume: Returns three values that specify the x, y, and z coordinates of the center of volume of the model.
GlobalMomentsOfInteria: Returns six values that specify the Ixx, Iyy, Izz, Ixy, Ixz, and Iyz components of the global moments of inertia.
PrincipalMomentsOfInteria: Returns three values that specify the Ixx, Iyy, and Izz components of the principle moments of inertia.
PrincipalAxes: Returns nine values that specify the orientation of the principle axes.
RadiiOfGyration: Returns three values that specify the radii of gyration.
RelativeAccuracyAchieved: Returns the actual accuracy achieved when calculating the phy

Remarks

The properties returned are the current properties stored with the model, which means they can be not computed yet, out-of-date, or up-to-date. To calculate properties for the first time relative to a coordinate system, or to update the properties, use the ComputePhysicalPropertiesRelativeToCoordinateSystem method.
