Lastly, the command asks if this information is to be written to a text file with a
.mpr
extension:
Write analysis to a file? [Yes/No] <N>: Option
Note
Instead of creating an MPR file, it is faster to copy and paste this information
from the text window (the
F2
key displays and removes it) to any program that
includes a
MTEXT
object in AutoCAD.
This command can also be used to calculate geometric properties of regions.
Exercise 8.3
We create a simple model composed of only a torus, to verify their mass properties.
1. We open AutoCAD or initiate a drawing.
2. We create a torus having its center at
10,10
, radius as
1
, and tube radius
as
0.2
, and zoom to it.
3. We apply the
MASSPROP
command and get the following results:
---------------- SOLIDS
----------------
Mass:
0.7896
Volume:
0.7896
Bounding box: X:
8.8000 --
11.2000
Y:
