Re: [Question #675246]: inertia calculation facetbox

 

Hi,
Facets have positions which are not necessarily their center of mass, which makes the contribution mass*distance to inertia not fully consistent.

Note also that discretization=100 is not a good idea since facets have no volume. Fortunately it seems to work still, for some reason, but I suggest discretization=0 to be sure.

Note also (2) that if you want to simulate polyhedra with clumped facets it will probably not work very well. Better use true Polyhedra or clumped Pfacets.

Regards

Bruno
