IronKevin Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Just select a part or assembly and click the CoG tool, it will display a symbol at the Center of Gravity location and "Show COG Details" will give you the coordinates.

Mike Allen Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) You really need to make sure that each component has the correct mass properties entered, or you will get erroneous data from the COG tool.

tlehnhaeuser Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks, more I need to know what exactly I would use this tool in my projects ... What is its functionality? 27336[/snapback] Example: Have a client designed a large freight vehicle and they needed to know where the COG wa on loaded vehicle to determine if/when the vehicle would tip over sort to speak. Simply allows engineers to calculate such theorticals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EricFoy Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 That's an easy one: It tips over just after you pull the forks out from under the milling machine. (hasn't happened to me yet, thankfully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
