Hello,

 

I would like to know the center of gravity of a set of elements from my model.

 

Currently I only know how to obtain the center of gravity but for the whole model (post--> Summary)

 

But, how can I make this with a SET?

 

thanks in advance.

    Hi,

     

    From menu bar, click Tools > Mass Details and select 'Mass, Cog and Inertia'. Click on Cog to get Cog of components.

    To get the COG of set of elements, you can mover those elements to new component and check for COG (as mentioned above).

     

    For moving the elements to new component: Tools > Organize..

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>image.png

     

    For COG:

    Tools > Mass details > mass, cog and inertia

    Click on 'Cog'.
