.. _rigid_body:

``rigid_body``
==============
This module contains a set of factory functions for setting up the
models for a rigid body in Tudat. Specifically, this module defines the
mass, center of mass and inertia tensor of a body. These models **do not**
define a gravity field of a body. However, when a body is endowed with a 
gravity field, a compatible rigid body is automatically created.
