diag Diagnostics

Introduction

The Diagnostics window reports the position, orientation, and moments of inertia associated with child geometry. This information is useful for characterizing the instantaneous state orientation and bounding box of a geometry. For imported geometry, it records the original location of a file. Moments of inertia are also calculated, as may be necessary when modeling driven motion.

Access

When you select Diagnostics on any child geometry context-specific toolbar, the below window will open.
