Hello peteroznewman,

Thank you for your answer! In that case adding the standard earth gravity would ansys consider it at the center of mass by default or do I have to create a new cooradinate system at the center of the body? because right now my part has it's coordinate system at a different point other than in center.
Sorry that due to disclosure I am unable to share a snippet of the model.
