The GetDimensions method for the MDDataProviderBW Business object returns a list of DIMENSIONS (BW InfoObjects with type Characteristic) for a particular CUBE (BW query).
There is also a DIMENSION [measures] with type MD_DIMTYPE_MEASURES, which contains all key figures of the query. For queries with tow structures, these are also treated as DIMENSIONS. If a structure contains key figure selections, the structure is interpreted as a DIMENSION with type MD_DIMTYPE_OTHER_NO_AGGREGATION ; any other structure is interpreted as a DIMENSION with type MD_DIMTYPE_UNKNOWN.
