GetPrincipalAxesOfInertia Method (ICWMassPropertiesManager)

Gets the principal axes of inertia with respect to the center of mass.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function GetPrincipalAxesOfInertia() As System.Object
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ICWMassPropertiesManager
Dim value As System.Object
 
value = instance.GetPrincipalAxesOfInertia()
C# 
System.object GetPrincipalAxesOfInertia()
C++/CLI 
System.Object^ GetPrincipalAxesOfInertia();

Return Value

2D array of vector coefficients of the three principal axes of inertia (see Remarks)

Example

See the ICWMassPropertiesManager examples.

Remarks

A principal axis is one of three mutually perpendicular axes in a body about which the moment of inertia is at a maximum.

This method returns nine doubles as follows:

     [ axis1_lx, axis1_ly, axis1_lz, axis2_lx, axis2_ly, axis2_lz, axis3_lx, axis3_ly, axis3_lz ]
