- Break down your complex mechanism into smaller subsystems or branches.
- Refer to following documentation of how to do so:
- https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/creating-subsystems.html
- Each subsystem can be represented as a separate model or a masked subsystem within the larger model.
- Place an Inertia Sensor block at strategic locations within each branch or subsystem
- Configure each sensor to measure the inertia of the specific group of connected blocks that make up the branch.
- If built in Inertia Sensor does not directly support we can consider to write MATLAB scripts to calculate composite inertia manually.

Howdy,
I'm working with simscape multibody and I've seen using inertia sensor there's chance to select a local group of connected blocks or whole mechanicsms. I was wondering if for a complex branched mechanism would be possible to take also a composite rigid body inertia measure (using actual configurations given by joints positions) for single branches in palce of whole mechanism of any workaround exist for.
Cheers,
Soldà Enrico

Hey
As the default behavior of the Inertia Sensor block is to measure the inertia of either the entire mechanism or a local group of connected blocks. However, we can achieve the desired measurement by using a combination of techniques and a bit of creativity.
Here is how I would approach the problem:
