Centre of Gravity for Non-Uniform Density Solids

Recommended Posts

Hey guys

 

Just wondering if anyone knows of any tricks/methods to calculate centre of gravity for non-uniform density solids

 

I use ProSteel for steel detailing, and it will work it out for me, but I would like to verify ProSteel's results

 

DWG attached for example of what I'm working with, concrete pool with steel formwork (can't send original model due to patents, etc)

 

I did find this guide on the autodesk forums, which seems to work but is a bit fiddly - wondering if anyone knows of any other methods or tools to do this in ACAD

 

Thanks for any help

Don't know any tool, but i guess Autodesk Inventor has this ability?  Might be part of an subscription package.

And, if the mentioned calculation on the Autodesk forum checks out you could write a lisp to do most of the work, if not all.
