Hello Carlos, Thank you for replying to the idea.
We don't use the CHANGE command actively, so looking for a CG for our one model (or the last state model mentioned in your reply) would do the job. But including the CG for each of the model may be more inclusive.
Thank you for posting this idea. However, perhaps you might provide some more details on this as you can imagine, there would be challenges in determining exactly what objects are included/excluded in any such calculation. Consider a model defined with a set of members some of which have been set as INACTIVE, a set of load cases defined and solved, a CHANGE command issued and a different set of members set as INACTIVE, a new set of load cases defined and solved. In the above scenario, would you expect the CG to be that of the initial or last state of the model? The last would seem reasonable or are you suggesting that there should be a method to get from OpenSTAAD what models exist (i.e. 2 in the above example) and the CG for each model?
