Create a Design Response that measures a component of the mass moment of inertia tensor in some region. For each tensor component, the response is computed by integrating one of the following functions: I_xx = rho * (y^2 + z^2), l_yy = rho * (x^2 + z^2), I_zz = rho * (x^2 + y^2), I_xy = l_yx = - rho * x * y, l_xz = I_zx = - rho * x * z, l_yz = I_zy = - rho * y * z over the region, where x, y, z are the coordinates of the material point in the given reference frame, and rho is the density field.

NameTypeDescription
Moment of inertiaTensor Component EnumComponent of the inertial tensor.
RegionRegionRegion that the Design Response will be integrated over. If a region is not provided, the response will be integrated over the entire design space.
FrameFrameReference frame that the inertia tensor is defined in. If a frame is not specified, the global coordinate system will be used.
