Query the Movement of Center of Gravity

Query the Movement of Center of Gravity

(OP)
I am currently working in Workbench 10.0 SP1.  I have a 3D model that consists of many parts, but I have reduced it to two parts.  The other parts of the assembly have been reduced to two representitive point masses that are attached appropriately to the model.  I am trying to find out, given the acceleration applied to the model, how much the Center of Gravity moves under loading.  I have no clue on where to begin.  Please, any ideas or thought would be welcomed!!

Thanks in advance!
