Dear Nikos,

there is no default behavior. The mapping is a linear function, for
convenience additionally mapping matrix is normalized

R_I = \sum w_i *r_i / (\sum w_i)

where R_I is the coarse-grained bead, r_i atom positions and w_i the
weights specified in mapping file, section mapping. So if you put in
the masses in the mapping, it's center of mass, if you put in
identical numbers (e.g. 1) its center of geometry.
