Script Author: Ian Rivard

 

Description:

This script will allow the user to create points or nodes at the CGs of solid geometry in the model. If nodes are created, the user can input a density and optionally create individual and or total mass elements.

 

Use Instructions:

run the tool, make a selection on the gui and then select the solids to loop on. If available the script will try and match the IDs of the points, nodes, mass elements/properties with the solid. If the number is already taken, the script will get the next available number for that entity type.

*Note precision is the number of decimal places to use on any final results calculations. This makes labels read nicer, and eliminates unwanted decimal places. If you want higher precision, set this to a high integer.

 

 

Requirements:

a model with solid geometry.
