Object: Software to find center of mass of a complex 3d geometry?
Hello! Are there any software, that would calculate a center of mass,
given the 3d geometry data? I assume most of the commercial CAM/CAD
applications, like AutoCAD do that? Are there any freeware or
opensource programs that would do that?

Yes, AutoCad will do this sort of calculation, given a mass of uniform
density. (It'll also figure out the moment of inertia.) A number of
good CAD programs will do this, but I don't know, just offhand, if any
freeware does it or not.
