Centre of gravity
Centre of gravity
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to find the centre of gravity on a model I have created. I used to do it in V18 and it used to display a point but I can't figure out how to do it in NX4.
Any help appreciated

RE: Centre of gravity
The bar you getin in the top right corner has a drop down of display annotation (defalt) or create Principal axes.
Make sure you change the drop down to the second one and it's pressed down. Select your solid and it'll create a csys in the position of the centre of mass if you change the measurment type to mass.
You can use this csys to re-position your wcs to and create a point if that's what you need.
Hope that helps,
