      The first method is to look at the detail’s view of the body in the tree, where the principal moments of inertia Ip1, Ip2 and Ip3 are displayed. The second method is to select the body and use the “Selection Information” tool. In the controls of this tool, it is possible to ask that the moments of inertia are displayed, and the user can switch between displaying the principal moments of inertia or the moments of inertia in the global coordinate system (see attached screenshot). A third method is to select “Geometry” then click on “Worksheet”.
