parallelaxis {AvInertia} | R Documentation |
Reads in an initial tensor and an offset to compute the transformed tensor. Will be in the same frame of reference as the input tensor.
parallelaxis(I, offset_vec, m, cg_a)
I |
a 3x3 matrix representing the moment of inertia tensor about the center of gravity of the object (kg-m^2). |
offset_vec |
a 1x3 vector representing the distance (x,y,z) between the objects CG and the arbitrary pt A (m). Vector should always point from the CG to the arbitrary point A. |
m |
Mass of the object (kg). |
cg_a |
If input I is about the CG enter "CG" or if I is about an arbitrary axis enter "A". |
a 3x3 matrix representing the transformed moment of inertia tensor after a solid body translation defined by the offset vector.
