-**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]].
