Functions

compute_distributor_moment_of_inertia(...[, ...])

computes the moment of inertia tensor for a hollow cuboid
compute_distributor_moment_of_inertia(component, vehicle, center_of_gravity=array([[0, 0, 0]]))[source]#

computes the moment of inertia tensor for a hollow cuboid

Assumptions:

  • Assumes moment of inertia of lines are modeled as thin rods

  • Accounts for insulation and pipe MOI’s separately

  • Lines line on y-z plane (i.e. C.G.z is 0)

  • Interates through all compoments on the distribution lines and computes the manhattan distance

  • Redundancy accounted from the fact that each component is routed to all compoments (i.e. bi-directional)
