Moments and products of inertia of the total mass of the vehicle. SVC computes these at the total center-of-gravity position, about axes parallel to those of the vehicle center-of-mass marker.
Computed by:
SVCMI2
Input Variables Used:
■All part identifiers in ARRAY statements 9901, 9903, and 9905
■Body center-of-mass MARKER statement identifier (idbcm) from ARRAY/9909
Method:
SVC extracts from the data set the mass properties and the center-of-mass marker identifiers of all parts listed in ARRAY statements 9901, 9903, and 9905, and uses the result with displacements from the INFO utility subroutine to compute the various inertias. Note the lists of part identifiers in ARRAY statements 9901, 9903, and 9905 must include all parts belonging to the vehicle to correctly compute the total rotational inertias.
