Extracting area and center (center of gravity) information for closed curves and surfaces

Area can be used to extract information on the area and center (center of gravity) of a closed curve or surface.

You can extract the area from the Area(A) and the coordinates of the center or center point from the Area(C).

Components used：①Curve ②Area ③Point

Let’s start with closed curves.

This time, the curves are set in a Curve and connected to the Area.

Then, the center points (center of gravity) of the closed curves have been extracted.

Components used：①Surface ②Area ③Point

The same can be done with surfaces.

In this case, the surfaces are set in a Surface and connected to the Area.

Thus, the center points (center of gravity) of the surfaces have been extracted.
