Classes
class	SimTK::UnitInertia_< P >
	A UnitInertia matrix is a unit-mass inertia matrix; you can convert it to an Inertia by multiplying it by the actual body mass. More...
class	SimTK::Inertia_< P >
	The physical meaning of an inertia is the distribution of a rigid body's mass about a particular point. More...
class	SimTK::SpatialInertia_< P >
	A spatial inertia contains the mass, center of mass point, and inertia matrix for a rigid body. More...
class	SimTK::ArticulatedInertia_< P >
	An articulated body inertia (ABI) matrix P(q) contains the spatial inertia properties that a body appears to have when it is the free base body of an articulated multibody tree in a given configuration q. More...
class	SimTK::MassProperties_< P >
	This class contains the mass, center of mass, and unit inertia matrix of a rigid body B. More...

Namespaces
	SimTK
	This is the top-level SimTK namespace into which all SimTK names are placed to avoid collision with other symbols.

Typedefs
typedef Vec< 2, Vec3 >	SimTK::SpatialVec
	Spatial vectors are used for (rotation,translation) quantities and consist of a pair of Vec3 objects, arranged as a 2-vector of 3-vectors. More...
typedef Vec< 2, Vec< 3, float > >	SimTK::fSpatialVec
	A SpatialVec that is always single (float) precision regardless of the compiled-in precision of Real. More...
typedef Vec< 2, Vec< 3, double > >	SimTK::dSpatialVec
	A SpatialVec that is always double precision regardless of the compiled-in precision of Real. More...
typedef Row< 2, Row3 >	SimTK::SpatialRow
	This is the type of a transposed SpatialVec; it does not usually appear explicitly in user programs. More...
typedef Row< 2, Row< 3, float > >	SimTK::fSpatialRow
	A SpatialRow that is always single (float) precision regardless of the compiled-in precision of Real. More...
typedef Row< 2, Row< 3, double > >	SimTK::dSpatialRow
	A SpatialRow that is always double precision regardless of the compiled-in precision of Real. More...
typedef Mat< 2, 2, Mat33 >	SimTK::SpatialMat
	Spatial matrices are used to hold 6x6 matrices that are best viewed as 2x2 matrices of 3x3 matrices; most commonly for spatial and articulated body inertias and spatial shift matrices. More...
typedef Mat< 2, 2, Mat < 3, 3, float > >	SimTK::fSpatialMat
	A SpatialMat that is always single (float) precision regardless of the compiled-in precision of Real. More...
