How can I extract basic geometry information for a body in SpaceClaim?

I have some bodies designed in SpaceClaim and want to extract some basic geometric information like body center and bounding box.

You can extract the requested information by using SpaceClaim scripting. Here is a sample script:

#Body Center
bodySelection = BodySelection.Create(GetRootPart().Bodies[0])
designBodySelection = body.Bodies[0]
bodyMassProp = designBodySelection.MassProperties
bodyCenter = bodyMassProp.PrincipleAxes.Origin
bodyCenterX = bodyCenter.X
bodyCenterY = bodyCenter.Y
bodyCenterZ = bodyCenter.Z

#Body Bounding Box
bodyBox = designBodySelection.Shape.GetBoundingBox(Matrix.Identity)
bodyCenter2 = bodyBox.Center #Should be equal to bodyCenter from above
bodyCorners = bodyBox.Corners
bodyCornerPoint = bodyCorners[0]
bodyCornerPointX = bodyCornerPoint.X
