I am currently working in Workbench 10.0 SP1. I have a 3D model that consists of many parts, but I have reduced it to two parts. The other parts of the assembly have been reduced to two representitive point masses that are attached appropriately to the model. I am trying to find out, given the acceleration applied to the model, how much the Center of Gravity moves under loading. I have no clue on where to begin. Please, any ideas or thought would be welcomed!!

Thanks in advance!
 
I do not know if there is a more elegant way, but the brute force method would be to issue upgeom (you will have to reference a RST file). Then, just find the new c of g.
