Analysis Tools

Use these after a model or assembly already exists. Start with mass properties, then interference checking, then geometry analysis, then material properties.

Prerequisite: An active model or assembly with solid geometry.

Total tools in this category: 5

Recommended order

1. calculate_mass_properties or get_mass_properties
2. check_interference
3. analyze_geometry
4. get_material_properties

Known limits

• get_mass_properties is a compatibility alias for calculate_mass_properties.
• These tools do not create or modify geometry.
• In tests and local development, the mock adapter stands in for SolidWorks COM and returns canned success/error payloads so the suite can run without a live SolidWorks session, this is mostly for CI and testing use cases. Use a real SolidWorks Tinstallation to validate engineering results.

units	str	—	metric	Units for mass properties
include_hidden	bool	—	False	Include hidden components
reference_coordinate_system	str?	—	None	Reference coordinate system alias

Sample call:

{}
