Interface IInertiaProperty

All Superinterfaces:

IPartProperty, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractInertiaProperty, InertiaCylinderProperty, InertiaParallelepipedProperty, InertiaSimpleProperty, InertiaSphereProperty

public interface IInertiaProperty
extends IPartProperty

This is the interface for all inertia properties : those properties can provide the inertia matrix, mass and mass center of the part, and the frame in which the vector and the matrix are expressed. The inertia matrix is the one at the mass center of the part.
