What are the Jx Jy and Jz values in RobotLoad

I'm trying to use RobotLoad for the first time and I can't find any information on what the Jx, Jy and Jz values are.  I have all of the CAD data for my tool and load, I just don't know how these values correlate to the CAD data.

  • Hallo,
    J is the moment of inertia for each axis. It tells something about the mass distribution around an axis.
    (or a resistance against acceleration)
    You can get this easily from CAD when looking for mass and mass center of an object.
    Unit is kgm².
