Identifying centre in abaqus models

Identifying centre in abaqus models

Identifying centre in abaqus models

(OP)
Hi

I have a model which i developed in solidworks and exported this model into abaqus for my analysis. It is an irregular shaped model with a given height. However i need to apply a shear force on one of its face at the centre. How do i find the centre of the model to apply force?

Sorry, I was referring to the centroid of the particular face. But I am not sure as to how I could find the centroid as the surface is irregularly shaped.
