    Measure Bodies vs. Area using Curves

    The intersection curve I am working with looks similar to the outside edge of a NIKE swoosh, but a bit flatter. I am using Imperial units and I did use a solid section type for the section inertia analysis. I am seeing deltas of about 0.003 inches between the section inertia and measure bodies...

    Measure Bodies vs. Area using Curves

    I actually have one more question. Should I expect a difference in centroid between the Section Inertia and the Measure bodies? I am seeing a difference in centroid between using the Section Inertia with an intersection curve vs. Measure Bodies with an extrude made from that same intersection curve.

    Measure Bodies vs. Area using Curves

    That helps a lot. Thank you to everyone for the help!!

    Measure Bodies vs. Area using Curves

    Yes I have. I use a tolerance of 0.0001 when using the analysis using curves command. If I use a larger tolerance (ex. 0.01) the values are more similar to those of the measure body command. Is there a way to increase the tolerances when using measure bodies?

    Measure Bodies vs. Area using Curves

    Hi, When I compare the analysis of curves command for the face of my body and an intersection (or section) curve at the same point my delta is 0.0004 inches in the X and 0.0003 inches in the Y. Comparing the analysis of curves of an intersection curve to the measure body of an extruded...

    Measure Bodies vs. Area using Curves

    Hello, I am trying to create a C# program that finds the centroid of a face and I have a few questions about the different centroid calculating tools in NX 7.5.5. Why are my centroid measurements different when I use the Measure Body command versus when I use the area using curves command...
