Assembly center of mass - how to obtain time-dependent CM position?
Assembly center of mass - how to obtain time-dependent CM position?
(OP)
Hello,
I have a model of my device already built. When I am using the aggregate mass function, it only gives me the coordinates of CM for the initial machine position. My aim is to see the CM position during the whole simulation.
I have made a measure, defined by such a function:
AGGREGATE_MASS( {PART_1,PART_2, PART_3,PART_4} , 0 ,"CM_Pos" )[1]
I thought, that now the measure will indicate the x position of the assembly, but unfortunatelly there is only one initial value on the graph.
Thanks in advance for helping me. This problem does not let me sleep;)

There is a thread on another Adams forum entitled:
" How to link a marker to determine the location of aggregate mass of an assembly"
Someone responded to that with such a message:
Use GCON and POINT_MASS to visualize and track aggregate CM

Unfortunatelly I don't have acces to that article. Any idea how should I use GCON and POint_Mass together? Thanks in advance.
