Hi folks,
My ODE project is in glorious 2-d, using the plane2d joint extension by
P. Serocka. So objects only ever rotate around the z axis.
I have concocted some fancy code for computing the moment of inertia of
my objects around the z axis, and I understand that this goes in the
dMass object as the I33 element.
My question is, what can I safely enter for the other elements, the
other two moments of intertia I11 and I22, and the three products of
inertia?
Can I just put zeroes in all these locations, since there will never be
any rotation about x or y?
cheers,
josh s
