Yes, those inertia values are huge. To give you a sense of magnitude, these are the inertia values of a cylinder with a radius=0.45
meters and height=0.5
meters and a mass=14.1
Kilograms.
<inertial>
<origin xyz="0 0 0.25" rpy="0 0 0" />
<mass value="14.1" />
<inertia ixx="1.0075625" ixy="0" ixz="0"
iyy="1.0075625" iyz="0"
izz="1.427625" />
</inertial>
From the visual
and collision
fields, it's clear that the units of your mesh (body.stl
) are in millimeters, so, you may want to scale it to meters before computing the inertia with meshlab.
Another option is to approximate the body to a simpler geometry (I normally use a cylinder) for which computing the inertia is straight forward: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia
