Can any of you MOI experts help me with this.

Its not difficult to determine the x/y/z MOIs of a body if you are able to
handle
it. For example a small model car.
See http://kwon3d.com/theory/moi/meas.html  [22].

Its not difficult to suspend a body to form a pendulum and measure all the
values needed for the calculation.
Its also not difficult to create a hinge and replicate the setup with ode to
verify results. What I don't know
is how to create to the MOI tensor for the known xyz MOIs. Can anyone help
me.

Brian..
