Adams Car - Moment of inertia from Solidworks

[Higor Sufiatti]

Hi everyone. I want to get the moment of inertia from Solidworks and pass it to Adams/Car. The problem is that there are 3 diferent moments of inertia. Witch one should I use? Px, Lxx or Ixx?

Tick Off_Diagonal Terms, and then use Ixx etc, is the easiest way. Alternatively you can mess about with Euler angles or direction vectors and then use the principal MoI. A 14 kg chassis seems a bit on the light side.

Cheers
