SolidData

For general access to the Wolfram Knowledgebase, use entities of type Solid instead of SolidData.

✖
SolidData[entity,property]

gives the value of the specified property for the solid entity.

✖
SolidData[{entity1,entity2,…},property]

gives a list of property values for the specified solid entities.

✖
SolidData[entity,property,annotation]

gives the specified annotation associated with the given property.

Details

  • SolidData[] gives a list of all solid entities.
  • SolidData["Properties"] gives a list of available properties.

Properties & Relations  (2)Properties of the function, and connections to other functions

Using SolidData is equivalent to calling EntityValue on the corresponding entity and property:

In[1]:=1
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0enwl29z2-mpzww1
Out[1]=1
In[2]:=2
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0enwl29z2-2jj15p
Out[2]=2

Evaluate SolidData with "Classes" argument:

In[1]:=1
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0enwl29z2-5b2e8w
Out[1]=1

The above is equivalent to evaluating EntityClassList of the entity type "Solid":

In[2]:=2
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0enwl29z2-lx5erw
Out[2]=2

Possible Issues  (1)Common pitfalls and unexpected behavior

Entity classes cannot be given as bare strings:

In[1]:=1
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0enwl29z2-ja63ev
Out[1]=1

Specifying an explicit EntityClass works as intended:

In[2]:=2
✖
https://wolfram.com/xid/0enwl29z2-4ulfxs
Out[2]=2

This is equivalent to calling EntityList on the EntityClass:

In[3]:=3
