Command Window

To set the mass representation level (to level 6 for example):

REPRE MASS 6

The Arc Tolerance for graphical representation is also a controlling factor:

REPRE DARCTOL 10mm - is the default

REPRE DARCTOL 1mm - is a finer representation.

The basic commands used for calculating Mass Properties are:

• Volume

  NVOL, GVOL, RVOL  -  For Net, Gross or Rough Volume. Net calculations consider all negatives, whereas Gross ignores negatives, and Rough is a quicker version of Gross often useful when calculating many elements or complex shapes.

• Surface

  NSRF, GSRF, RSRF

• Weight

  NWEI, GWEI, RWEI

• Centre of Gravity

  NCOFG, GCOFG, RCOFG

In addition to these basic commands it is also possible to use the following syntax:
