Yes, view the "center of gravity" report generated by the Error Checker.

Satish,

The 'center of gravity report' with the weights would also be included near end of the 'Miscellaneous Data' report of output selections.

Maybe the original question was something intended to be related to Modal Seismic Response/ Number of modes.
Some books- see Structural dynamics by M. Paz- use terminology as "effective modal weights" and "total effective modal weight".

Is my guess correct? or maybe there is a mistake in typing- where "modal" is?
Best regards.
