You can use the mass properties of a model to see where the center of mass is. This window will also give you "Principal axes of inertia and principal moments of inertia", "Moments of inertia: Taken at the center of mass and aligned with the output coordinate system", Moments of inertia: Taken at the output coordinate system". From these data balancing can be determined.
