    The center of mass is stored in the MassProperties of a body and can be accessed via the PricipleAxes.Origin.

    Also, there is a MeasureHelper function to directly get the center of mass from a selection. This can be helpful if you need the combined center of mass of multiple bodies.

    Code Example:

    bodies= GetRootPart().GetAllBodies()
for body in bodies:
  print body.MassProperties.PrincipleAxes.Origin
  print MeasureHelper.GetCenterOfMass(Selection.Create(body))
