Description

      Element parentUID[0, 1]

UID of the component which serves as parent element, i.e. whose coordinate system is to be used as a reference for the mass properties (CoG location, orientation and massInertia). Thus, two cases can occur: (1) it is set: local coordinate system of the parent; (2) it is not set: global CPACS coordinate system.

      Element componentUID[0, 1]

UID of the geometric description of the component.

      Element mass

Mass [kg]

      Element location[0, 1]

Mass location. If the optional refType attribute is set, it explicitly specifies whether the location of the mass refers to the global CPACS coordinate system (absGobal) or the local coordinate system of the parent element (absLocal, given by the CPACS hierarchy OR by parentUID). If it is not set, the global CPACS coordinate system is considered as default. To ensure consistency, the same settings apply as well to orientation and massInertia.

      Element orientation[0, 1]

Orientation. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.

      Element massInertia[0, 1]

Mass inertia. The reference coordinate system (absGlobal or absLocal) is identical to location.
