A Moments_of_inertia describes the matrix of inertia of a rigid body. The moments of inertia I are described as follows:
A Moments_of_inertia is a type of Shape_dependent_property.
The data associated with a Moments_of_inertia are the following:
The inertia_value specifies the 9 inertia coefficients.
NOTE The matrix defined by the 'inertia_value' is symmetric with respect to the main diagonal. For that reason, the values of the coefficients are equal, if mirrored along this diagonal. As a consequence, there are 6 different values in the 'inertia_value'.
See moments_of_inertia to numerical_value for the application assertion.
The is_defined_in specifies the Cartesian_coordinate_space in which the property is applicable.
NOTE The values of geometry related properties are specified relative to a Cartesian_coordinate_space.
EXAMPLE The reference_axis_placement for the Moments_of_inertia is defined within the coordinate space. A Moments_of_inertia may be specified in different coordinate spaces for different purposes.
See moments_of_inertia to cartesian_coordinate_space for the application assertion.
The reference_axis_placement specifies the Axis_placement which was used to calculate the 'inertia_value'.
See moments_of_inertia to axis_placement for the application assertion.
