Detailed Description

Utility class to compute and manipulate mass and inertia tensor properties.

In most cases PxRigidBodyExt::updateMassAndInertia(), PxRigidBodyExt::setMassAndUpdateInertia() should be enough to setup the mass properties of a rigid body. This utility class targets users that need to customize the mass properties computation.
