Making Calculations

The space geometry can be used for searching and selecting elements from any discipline. The Search tool is activated (as a side pane) from the function Search in the Search group of the Home ribbon tab. The tool can be used to search exactly within the shape of a given space, using the tic box Within Shape. Once a selection of elements is available, it can be used for mass calculations.

The mass property functions, Volume, Area and Weight and Center of Gravity, can be found in the group Mass Properties on the Tools ribbon tab. Each of the mass property functions activates a side pane where a space can be referenced, and calculation can be defined to only calculate exactly within this given space.

Calculation results can be stored in the Analysis database using a right-click menu on the calculation result.
