Hi I need support on finding the CG of any assembly made of surface and solids using Hyperworks.

    One way is by using the "Calculate" option and then checking the "Show center of gravity" and "COG nod" boxes:

    Then, use the "Measure" option and check the "Show snap coordinates":

    Snap your cursor to the node that was created at the COG and it will display the coordinates.

    There used to be another way of doing it with the "Summary" option, but I don't know where that option went.
