| Description: |
Matlab function RigidBodyParams - Rigid Body Parameters: In order to simulate dynamic behaviour of a rigid-body, one requires knowledge of a set of rigid-body parameters such as the total mass of the rigid-body, the center of mass, as well as the moments and products of inertia. The purpose of this submission is to provide a function which computes exact rigid-body parameters of objects represented by closed, triangular surface meshes. The principles underlying the calculations are based on the divergence theorem and are explained in detail in the attached .pdf document. This submission also includes two functions that take as input an arbitrary mesh and output parameters of a primitive object, such as an ellipsoid or a cuboid, with exactly the same inertial parameters as the input object. Finally, VisualizeLocaFrame.m function can be used for visualizing local frames of reference constructed from principal axes of inertia. |
