Mass Properties Result File Overview

Introduction

The Mass Properties analysis results file provides the total mass, moments of inertia, and center of mass from the computation as well as a table of individual contributions by component. For each item, the component mass, center of mass, and moments of inertia about itself are reported. For example, a Blank point mass will have a set mass at its defined location but will have zero moments of inertia while still contributing to the total moments due to the distance from the model center of mass.
