Centre of Gravity

Calculate centre of gravity Export centre of gravity data” as an excel file.

There are two methods of calculating the centre of gravity (COG) of objects in your model.

  • If the necessary attribute data is available in Smart3D or via special labels in AdapterForSmartReview (Dry CG), it will be used to calculate the COG.

  • Alternatively, UniversalPlantViewer will calculate an approximate COG.

Objects are highlighted in green if they have COG data and in red if they lack it.
