How to find Center of Gravity after Optimization in Hyperwork?
Hello Friends,
As Optimization Inputs in my DESING Variables, the displacement for new shape Change, I want to calculate new Center of Gravity? How can I get in accordance to my Design variable new CG?
Make sure I am changing elements which is hollow section.
I have defined around 24 shapes and design variable.
Thank you

How can I take my Optimized Geometry after changing the Old geometry in my model?
You want to export the optimized geometry correct?
You can use OSSmooth to export geometry https://connect.altair.com/CP/SA/training/self_paced/optimization/content/opt6/6_4.htm

OptiStruct uses the response you provided and optimizes the model based on your responses for given loads and boundary conditions.
Thank you Prakash, Actually If I Change my geometry with the help of Shape Optimization then of course my area also becomes Change, so with every Iteration I got new Geometry or new Shape. And I Need to find area of new shape. Because those Sizes and shape directly related to Heat Transfer Coefficient that I have to calculate again. I hope you can understand. And If you can know any function which I can put in the Loop it self which gives me Area every time with new Iteration so I can easily calculate Heat Transfer Coefficinet.
Thank you.

Hi Nayak,
There are two ways to get CoG:
1) Using HyperMesh: Go to Post>> Summary>> Load Cntr_of_Gravity Template and click summary which displays summary of Ctr of gravity for the model.
2) Using MotionView: Save the file as .hm file, Open MotionView>> Import the .hm file and you can see CG for individual components if you have an assembly.
