Will Soldworks 2011/Simulation Professional Calculate Part Unbalance?

I am working on an unbalanced crankshaft torsional vibration damper. I need to match the unbalance amount and angle to the stock part specification.

Is there a way to have Solidworks 2011 calculate the unbalance amount and angle of the model? I can get the center of mass and inertia, but I just can't seem to find unbalance information. We do have the simulation professional add in if that will help.

Thank You

Aaron

I suggest you go and try out some MOTION studies, this module has got lots of ways to display what you need... angle's, velocity's, resultant forces etc... this it not something you'll learn in a day though.
