mistake in the cog calculation with shell inertia about meshmagick

[frongere]

Hi,

Thank you for pointing out this bug.
We worked on it and it should be fixed now, at least for the tests we did. Maybe could you test last version 1.0.5 of meshmagick against your case again ?

Regards,
François.

Hello,  Sorry for my late reply. Unfortunately, it still shows wrong result. I am attaching the stl file of the shape. I use thickness of 0.023 and density of 7850. I expect the center of gravity to be 2.31m below the Oxy plane. But it shows me that it is 0.013m below the Oxy plane.

Hi Ahmed,

We are going to look at it. I cannot see the STL file you are talking about. Could you post it here so that we can use it for testing ?

Regards,
François.

Hello again,  I already attached it in the email. I am attaching it again.  Best regards,Ahmed On Wednesday, September 18, 2019, 3:14:23 PM GMT+2, François Rongère <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Ahmed, We are going to look at it.

I see now why you cannot see the stl file. I uploaded a zip file from Github directly.
See if you can open it now.

InfinityWEC_11m.stl.zip

Ok thank you !

Ahmed,
As you can see, we have tested the shell inertia feature on your file and we find a zg = -2.298 which is quite close to the result obtained using Onshape. Modifying the thickness does not impact this position (only mass and inertia of course).

The command used to generate this screenshot was :
meshmagick InfinityWEC_11m.stl -si --rho-medium 7850 --thickness 0.023

Are you certain to use the very last version of meshmagick ?
I advice you to checkout the master branch for the very last commit that fix the bug you mentioned.

François.

Thank you so much for your help. I have downlaoded meshmagick with anaconda. I just did conda update meshmagick. Maybe I need to clone the project.

[frongere]

Oh yes, sorry for that, the Anaconda package has not been updated for a while and is not synchronized properly with the repository... I should have configured a CI in order to automatically package and upload meshmagick to anaconda cloud. Maybe after merging the work of Matthieu on Python 3 updating...

It is okey. I can clone it. Thanks again. Very useful toolbox by the way. :)
