Dynamic Balancing

Hi,

I've got an assembly with a few parts rotating around a main axis of rotation and would like to plot the center of mass of the assembly.

I am able to create these plots for all of the parts, but I can't figure out how to get a combined results for multiple parts.

I tried the Reaction Force approach but again, I think I am misunderstanding how to use the "face/mate/simulation element" selection tool. Weirdly enough, where I wasn't able to plot reaction forces, I was able to look at translational momentum on the components that are of interest to me. Reactions forces and/or Center of Mass are the way to go here so I have to find out what's causing the issue.

edit: misread the toolip and for reaction forces, a mate and a surface are needed, not just a surface.

Thank you

Stephen
