How to calculate the external surface area of a body in Fusion

Solution:

Right click the body in the browser tree and select Properties. The Area value at the top is the external surface area of the body. Note:
  • The selected body must be a solid, and cannot be a surface body.
  • All joined bodies will be included in the calculation.

Note: It also works to right click the top component. The window that opens looks different. The Physical Properties section needs to expanded to see these properties.
