Exporting Volume using Python Journalling Script

[AnAngryScotsman]

Hello,

I have currently created a part, then this part is edited by a journal. This changes the volume of the solid bodies in the part.

I have created a journal that displays the information window with the mass data (using the measure body function of NX), however, I am wondering how to extract just the volume value from this (or any other method you know of) so I can store this as a variable in my code which will then be used to populate a json file.

I am using SIEMENS NX 12.0 and Python 3.8.2.

Any help with this issue is appreciated, and I am happy to provide any further information.

Thanks

For volume, surface area, and mass, I'd probably use the .AskMassProps3d function.

Below is a link to the NX help files that show the input/output for the function.
