ANGULAR MOMENTUM

Local Angular Momentum (L) of a Segment about its center of mass.

NOTE: At one time we removed this item from Visual3D because too many customers were using it inappropriately. Adding the angular momentum from multiple segments is tricky.

At the request of several users, we have made this item available again, but we caution users to be aware of the meaning of Angular Momentum and Model_Angular_Momentum

I = Moment of Inertia w = Angular velocity

Visual3D calculates angular momentum about the segment's center of mass. The angular momentum about a specific point (for example total model center of mass) can be calculated using this script.
