MomentData Class

A MomentData structure exists in several levels:

  • First level: as a carrier of sums of inertial products that determine moments.
    • origin = local origin used as moments are summed.
    • sums = array of summed moments.
      • The [i,j] entry of the sums is a summed or integrated moment for product of axis i and j.
        • axes 0,1,2 are x,y,z
          • e.g. entry [0,1] is summed product xy
        • axis 3 is "w", which is 1 in sums.
          • e.g. entry 03 is summed x
    • In this level,
      • the absoluteQuantity member is undefined.
      • the localToWorldMap and radiiOfGyration are created by have undefined contents.
  • Second level: after a call to inertiaProductsToPrincipalAxes, the localToWorldMap, absoluteQuantity and radiiOfGyration are filled in.
