How to measure moment of inertia of the section?
(OP)
Hi everyone!
I`m using Siemens NX (version 9.0) and it is necessary to measure the moment of inertia of the section.
For example, I have a model which consists of many solid bodies (they are not united) and I want to measure moment of inertia (e.g. at the distance of 1000 mm by X-axis).
Hope that the question is more or less clear!
Thanks a lot in advance!

Thank you very much for the quick response.
I`ve tried to follow your proposition. Unfortunately it still takes me a lot of time to calculate the moment of inertia of the section (in case when I have a lot of solid bodies, e.g. which were imported from another software). Look like it is necessary to create NXOpen application in order to make this operation more automatic.

I tried to use this tool for the issue, but it is still difficult to understand its proper work.
Are you able to give me several advice regarding my problem?
It is also interesting to measure moment of inertia of the sketch which consists of many various lines, splines, arcs etc.
Thanks a lot in advance.
