Objective:

Learn how to calculate mass and volume

Applies to:

  • Mass Properties from Mesh 
  • Mass Properties from Body

Procedure:

If you have an Implicit Body: Add the Mass Properties from Body

  • Insert the Implicit Body chip in the Body field
  • Density: 1mm-3g
  • Relative error: 0.01

If you have a Mesh: Add the Mass Properties from Mesh

  • Insert the mesh into the Mesh field
  • Density: 1mm-3g

    I am curious that why we have to insert 1 mm^-3 g for density to calculate mass and volume from implicit body or mesh. What is the hypothesis behind this?
