List of all members.

Public Member Functions

Vector getCOG () const
 Get the center of gravity of the rigid body.
double getMass () const
 Get the mass of the rigid body.
RotationalInertia getRotationalInertia () const
 Get the rotational inertia expressed in the reference frame (not the cog).
RigidBodyInertia RefPoint (const Vector &p)
 Reference point change with v the vector from the old to the new point expressed in the current reference frame.
 RigidBodyInertia (double m=0, const Vector &oc=Vector::Zero(), const RotationalInertia &Ic=RotationalInertia::Zero())
 This constructor creates a cartesian space inertia matrix, the arguments are the mass, the vector from the reference point to cog and the rotational inertia in the cog.

Detailed Description

6D Inertia of a rigid body

The inertia is defined in a certain reference point and a certain reference base. The reference point does not have to coincide with the origin of the reference frame.
