Keyboard Command line: EQUIPCG

Provides center-of-gravity calculations for equipment components. These components include user-defined equipment and the overall equipment model. This command also provides options to generate a center-of-gravity report in *.TXT or *.HTML format. You can place a marker at the calculated overall center-of-gravity location.

The weight for each component is calculated based on the density of the selected material. Therefore, make sure that you have selected a material for each component. It is recommended to run this command based on a hollow model. For more information, see Placement Tab (Equipment Console).

To combine center-of-gravity reports from steel and piping components, take the weight summations and add together each moment (ft-lb) X, Y, Z. To find the new X centroid location, divide the total X moment by the total weight. To find the new Y and Z centroid location, divide the Y or Z moment by the total weight.
