    Overview



    Many projects need the information like total weight, center of gravity of structure. ProStructures has this tool ‘Center of gravity’ which calculates Center of Gravity, Body volume and total weight of structure.

    This wiki will show you how to use this tool.

    Steps to follow

    1. Launch the product and navigate to ‘Center of Gravity’ tool located under ‘Utilities’ tab.

    2. Select the tool and select ‘Choose All’ option which will select entire structure.

    3. It will take few seconds for calculation and after that click on the ‘Message Center’ to see all the results.

    In this way, the center of gravity tool can be used to calculate such physical values of structure.
