Need to extract only Center of Gravity Data not Inertia of CG.

[VivekPatil007]

Hello All,

I'm using Creoson for automating the data extraction from creo using python.
I need to extract mass property especially Center of Gravity but "file_massprops" is not able to get it.

Currently, it gets,
"volume, mass, density, surface area ,ctr_grav_inertia_tensor, coord_sys_inertia, coord_sys_inertia_tensor"

Does anyone have any idea how can I get the Center of Gravity..?

Thanks In Advance 😃

Hi @VivekPatil007
It seems you need the BMX module to get the COG, to create the CSYS_COG and get its coordinates...

but maybe I'm wrong, if anyone knows?

I see a hard way to get it if you do a mapkey that open the mass property window, compute the properties, copy the result to clipboard, close the window.
Then you can get the result from clipboard with something like this:
subprocess.getoutput("powershell.exe -Command Get-Clipboard")
and then analyse the result string
Yes, this is the hard way

Hello @Zepmanbc
Thank You for your reply.

Is it possible to send two commands simultaneously to Creo using the Creoson server..?

if not then how I can send the mapkey to Creo from python without using hotkeys... any idea..?

I have tried to run c.file_assemble( ) & c.interface_mapkey(' ') commands, but at a time only one command is executing.

You record your mapkey, get the source and use it with interface_mapkey
You cannot send simultaneous command to Creoson
