Todo:

• Concave mesh mass/density/inertia calcs
• Convex mesh mass/density/inertia calcs (I had an old paper on this once.. as in non electronic, early journal article.. see buoyancy code in subsim probably has some leftover references..) alt:Gauss's Theorem volume
• Confirm capsule inertia calculations (infact confirm all)
• allow correction for inertia calculations if rotated.
• Confirm suming, is it mass or area? (transfer of axis of inertia)
• rewrite code usign ODE inertia calculations , if these can be confirmed
