How to calculate the common center of mass position of multiple rigid bodies in Simscape Multibody?
I think it is possible to get the position of the center of mass of each rigid body and then calculate the overall center of mass by weighting, but this is very complicated. Is there a more convenient method?

Hi there
have you taken a look at the inertia sensor block?
it was introduced in 2019b
this should provide a fairly straightforward way to get center of mass, as well as:

Good insight Vasco,
Indeed the Inertia Sensor works well for Jingchiao's query. I attach an example with two masses. When density of one is very high, the centre of mass is in the centre of the heavy body. And viceversa.

As Vasco mentioned above, the Inertia Sensor block was created for this purpose.

another example, of a double pendulum
important property to change when recreating: Inertia Sensor > properties > Sensor Extent > "mechanism"
connect sensor port (input) with world frame
