solidworks_mcp.tools.analysis

solidworks_mcp.tools.analysis

Analysis tools for SolidWorks MCP Server.

Use these after a model or assembly already exists. Recommended order: calculate_mass_properties or get_mass_properties, then check_interference, then analyze_geometry, then get_material_properties. These tools are for validation and inspection, not for creating geometry.
