visual3d:documentation:pipeline:model_based_data_commands:angular_momentum_pt [2025/12/05 20:30] – Corrected example script as the expressions could not be parsed in modern versions of Visual3D (if they ever could be). The sample files also need to be updated. wikisysopvisual3d:documentation:pipeline:model_based_data_commands:angular_momentum_pt [2026/06/02 14:14] (current) – ↷ Links adapted because of a move operation 172.204.27.30

 This example demonstrates how to calculate the angular momentum of a [[visual3d:documentation:modeling:segments:segment_overview|segment]] about an arbitrary point. This example demonstrates how to calculate the angular momentum of a [[visual3d:documentation:modeling:segments:segment_overview|segment]] about an arbitrary point.
  
-**Note**: It is very important to note that the total body angular momentum is not calculated by summing the [[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:Model_Based_Data_Commands:ANGULAR_MOMENTUM|ANGULAR_MOMENTUM]] for each segment because this model-based item represents the angular momentum of each segment about its [[visual3d:documentation:modeling:segments:segment_properties#inertial_properties|own centre of mass]]. To calculate the total body angular momentum you must calculate the angular momentum for each segment about the same axis, such as the total body center of mass. The equations in the [[#Angular_Momentum:_About_Total_Body_Center_of_Mass|About Total Body Center of Mass]] section describe how to do this.+**Note**: It is very important to note that the total body angular momentum is not calculated by summing the [[visual3d:documentation:visual3d_signal_types:link_model_based_data_type:angular_momentum|ANGULAR_MOMENTUM]] for each segment because this model-based item represents the angular momentum of each segment about its [[visual3d:documentation:modeling:segments:segment_properties#inertial_properties|own centre of mass]].
