Get part volume information

General Questions
1

Hello,

I have a multi-part curved composite. It is pretty straightforward to query the bounding box or get the volume of an individual part but is there a way of getting the volume of all my solids in one query? When the composite layers are expanded (through keywords), I have about 50+ layers and it is quite tedious to click through each individually. Can I use the query tool (and a shortcut such as CTRL+A) to get this information?… Ultimately, I am trying to get the volumetric density of the part, e.g. how much solid my design has within the bounding box.

You can request history output of EVOL with Totals=Only which will give you the total volume:

There is an option, Assembly, in the Query tool that gives the results for an entire assembly. The volume and CG are not yet included, but could be added. Then, an option, Visible Parts, could also be added so the user can decide for which parts the results should be reported. Would that work?

That would sound very helpful!
