Moment of inertia
(OP)
Hello all,
How do i add Area moment of inertia in the query through measured bodies? It only gives me Mass moment of inertia.
Thanks

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

RE: Moment of inertia
In either case, what you're supposed to do is use either (but NOT both at once) a profile of curves, such as a section though the model, or a face which represents the profile of the model, which can often be the end face of say an extruded model with a constant cross-section.
With the older 'Area using Curves' you can only get a single result for a single profile, but with the 'Section Inertia' function you can define a set of cross-sections if you need to see how the area properties of a model varies as you move along some axis or curve.
