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 (1) 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 dynamic polyhedra with
clumped facets it will probably not work very well. Better use proper
Polyhedra or clumped Pfacets.

Regards

Bruno
