Hello,
Question is: when there is a complicated assembly that needs to be simplified for further use, how to set coordinates of center of gravity and how to add mass to simplified solid body so simplification can be used for structure analysis (displacement and stress of steal structure that support this assembly for example).
So simplification will have interface points with supporting structure and it also should have center of gravity and mass of assembly. How to make it?

I can open Weight Management command (had to search for it).
I have to check this tool... But how to set center of gravity for reference set simplified solid? Will this additional mass make whole model heavier?
