Centre of volume

[jnanesh.sajjan]

Hello,



I have an assembly of different parts (300+) of various materials from
plastic to high density alloy steel. This assembly is a subsea item and
going to sit on sea bed.



I need to find out the stability of the assembly. I am curious to know
if Pro-e can do COV (Centroid of volume) calculation like COG.



Note: I don't like to change density of each material to 1.0 to get COV
position. If there is any other method please let me know.



Thanks and regards,



Jnanesha KS

If memory serves me well, I believe you can get the Center of Mass in Mechanica. I do not believe that information is reported through an anaysis featurein ASX or even Mechanism.
