Center of Mass… Why? How?

I know that this might sound like a silly question, but I would like you to tell me why you need a Center of Mass / Center of Gravity (COM) feature and how you would use it in your design process. For starters, consider these questions…

  • Why is a COM needed?
  • How would you like to use COM in your design process?
  • Do we need COM in drawings? How? Why?
  • Current workarounds and problems associated with COM?
  • Anything else you like to share / contribute to this topic.
