Assign Mass at point/coordinate system?

Assign Mass at point/coordinate system?

I have an IGES model from a supplier for a piece of equipment that will be used on a tractor. The model imported as a set of surfaces so the model mass and center of gravity are currently incorrect. I know what the mass is and I have a rough idea of the center of gravity so I would like to assign these values to the imported model so that the CG and mass in my tractor model is correct. The problem is, I can't seem to figure out how to assign mass to a point. Anyone have any ideas?

in WF5: under Files/Properties/Mass Properties, change the Source to "Geometry and Parameters", Edit, and then you can force the CG location and mass, inertias to be what you want.

Creo probably has similar settings in some other location.
