Estimate Inertia Tensor
Calculation of the inertia tensor.
Description
The Estimate Inertia Tensor block calculates the inertia tensor as a function of mass and the rate of change of the inertia tensor as a linear function of the rate of change of mass. Linear interpolation is used to determine the inertia tensor.
