API | PartStudio | Mass Properties

Martyn_Gierlicki

Hi all -

I am using the Glassworks API Explorer to pull the mass properties from a part studio (https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer/#/PartStudio/getPartStudioMassProperties).

I am pulling the data into Excel Power Query via the generated Request URL from the glasswork API tool. 

Now - my part studio contains muliple configurations which contain various quantities of parts. I know I can hard call a specific configuration into the URL to GET the details of that specific part studio configuration but is it possible to generate a single request URL for all of the configuartions within a part studio. 

I have in the region of 80 configurations so dont particularly want to have to create 80 URL's and 80 power queries. 

Thanks in advance.

A single request cannot represent all of the configurations, you will have to run your request against each and every configuration.

You can use the endpoint:
/elements/.../configuration

to get a list all of the parameters of a configuration, and then use the allowed values to generate a list of all of the configurations.
For inputs like length, these are obviously infinitely variable, so you will need to determine a method of iterating across that value, or leaving it as a default.

The mass properties of a solid object are its mass, centre of gravity, centroid, volume, moments of inertia, products of inertia and radii of gyration. Since the mass refers to a solid object, you can only find the mass properties of a solid model.
