ASSEMBLY CENTER OF MASS
ASSEMBLY CENTER OF MASS
(OP)
Hi guys!
Pls how is the right sequences to calculate a center of mass (XYZ position) for an UG NX3 assembly?
I just kwow the single weight of all the assy components but I don't know the method for upload it in every part.
is it perhaps a problem of license?
thanks in advance
Best regards
Marco

Analysis -> Measure Bodies...
...and then do a Select All (either by click-dragging the entire screen or by pressing the 'Select All' icon on the Selection toolbar). Now select the 'Info' icon on the menu-bar and among other things, you'll find the X,Y,Z coordinates for the 'Center of Mass'.
If you would also like to create a point at the Center of Mass, as well as vectors representing the Principle Axes, at the left end of the menu-bar, select the 'Create Principle Axes' option (make sure it's toggled on) and then after selecting all of the assembly, push the Green 'check mark'.
