You can plot the position
of the
center of mass of a part in an
assembly.
-
From a Motion
Analysis study, click Results and Plots
(MotionManager toolbar).
-
In the PropertyManager under Result, for Category, select Displacement/Velocity/Acceleration.
-
For Subcategory, select
Center of Mass Position.
-
For Select result
component, select
an
option:
- X
Component for
the X
coordinate of the position.
- Y
Component
for
the Y coordinate of the position.
- Z
Component
for
the Z coordinate of the position.
-
Select a
face.
Center of Mass Position gives the position of the
center of gravity of the part for the selected face. The result is relative
to the origin of the assembly and is in the global direction unless you
select a nonfixed or grounded Component to define XYZ
directions.
By default, the
motion of the center of mass is calculated
relative
to the assembly origin. You can optionally select a reference part
to plot the motion of the center of mass relative to the coordinates of that
part.
The center of mass of the selected part is indicated
with a small ball
.
-
Select
the Plot Results
options and click
.
The result appears in the
MotionManager
design
tree.
-
Click Calculate
(MotionManager toolbar).
