Detailed Description

This class contains the mass, center of mass, and inertia of a rigid body B.

The center of mass is a vector from B's origin, expressed in the B frame. The inertia is taken about the B origin, and expressed in B.

Member Function Documentation

MassProperties& setMassProperties	(	const Real &	m,
		const Vec3 &	com,
		const Inertia &	inertia
	)			[inline]

Set mass, center of mass, and inertia.

Behaves like an assignment in that a reference to the modified MassProperties object is returned.
