Center of Mass Response

Create a Design Response that measures a component of the Center of Mass vector in some region. For each vector component, the response is computed by integrating one of the following functions: v_x = rho * x / M, v_y = rho * y / M, v_z = rho * z / M over the region, where x, y, z are the coordinates of the material point in the given reference frame, rho is the density field and M is the total mass in the region.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Direction	Vector Component Enum	Component of the Center of Mass vector that will be used as a design response.
Region	Region	Region that the Design Response will be integrated over. If a region is not provided, the response will be integrated over the entire design space.
Frame	Frame	Reference frame that the center of mass vector is defined in. If a frame is not provided, the global frame will be used.
