Diagnostics Form

The Diagnostics form 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 intertia are also calculated, as may be necessary when modeling driven motion.

In the following image, the example form shows the properties that the diagnostics form reports, including the object name, notes, BRep shape bounding box, shape analysis placement, moment of inertia properties, etc.
