Inertia frame

Serra HermosoSerra Hermoso asked 3 years ago

Hello, 
Does anybody know wich frame Flow5 uses to calculate the inertia tensor? In the interface appears “Inertia in CoG Frame” where the value of this tensor is presented, but I would need to know if this is body frame or stability frame, which is the frame used to calculate the stability derivatives.
Thanks in advance, regards.

The inertia is defined in the body frame, and converted into the inertia frame to calculate the modal response.
