gbradley Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Is the Centroid, the coordinates for the center of gravity? I use Massproperties command and change the Coordinate system to UCS I tried to attach picture, but It wasn't allowed. http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7365&stc=1&d=1222274059 Thanks For any advice.

shift1313 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 it should be the location of the center of mass, assuming uniform density material. It usually gives you a reference on screen. where is your ucs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretagdan Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Sorry I dont know the awnser to the problem, but I do know that to attach a picture, you need a minimum of 10 posts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well noticed, that is why gbradley cannot post a picture, you need the 10 post count, the reason for this is to stop spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbradley Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yes I understand the Spam prevention. I was able to upload a jpeg, and the link works OK, I just couldn't embed it into the post. Different parts will have a different center of gravity. The location of the Blue rectangles approx. In the older versions of MDT it was pretty easy to get, but for some reason I am having trouble with this new version. I was just hoping to verify that the Centroid was that point.
