Use
Called By
Any of a REQSUB, SENSUB, SEVSUB or CONSUB.
Prerequisite
None
Calling Sequence
CALL BODY_MASS_PROPERTY (type, id, cm, mass, ip)
Input Arguments
type A character variable that specifies the type of modeling element for which the mass
properties are requested. The valid options are one of "Part", "Point_Mass",
"Flex_Body" or "Model". The input is case-insensitive but abbreviations are not
permitted.
id An integer variable that specifies the ID of the element of the type specified for which
the mass properties are requested. If the type is "Model" then this input is ignored.
For all other types this is required.
Output Arguments
cm A double-precision array of length 3 containing the center of mass of the requested
modeling element expressed in GCS.
mass A double-precision variable containing the mass of the requested modeling element.
ip A double-precision array of length 6 containing the 6 independent components of in
the inertia tensor for requested modeling element. (Ixx, Iyy, Izz, Ixy, Ixz, Iyz) These
inertia terms are expressed about the elements center of mass and are oriented in GCS.
Caution: The BODY_MASS_PROPERTY utility subroutine provides access to state-dependent
information to the user-written subroutines. However, since this information is expected
to be used only for monitoring and control purposes and not to affect the dynamics, no
functional dependencies are registered. Consequently, this utility subroutine can only be
called from the user-written subroutines that cannot add functional dependencies -
REQSUB, SENSUB, SEVSUB and CONSUB.
CHEBY
The CHEBY subroutine evaluates a Chebyshev polynomial.
