get_mass_props() creates a mass properties list from a selected row in a data frame.

Usage

get_mass_props(df, id)

Arguments

df

A data frame with (at least) these columns: id, mass, Cx, Cy, Cz, Ixx, Iyy, Izz, Ixy, Ixz, Iyz, POIconv, Ipoint.

id

The id value of the desired row.

Value

A list with the following named elements:

  • mass Numeric mass.

  • center_mass Numeric 3-vector center of mass.

  • point Logical indicating point mass. The inertia of point masses is excluded from calculations.

  • inertia Numeric 3x3 matrix inertia tensor. The signs of the off-diagonal elements of the inertia tensor are determined by POIconv. For example, the \(xy\) element of the inertia tensor is Ixy if POIconv is "-"; it is -Ixy if POIconv is "+".
