Most popular CAD tools can calculate the mass properties of solid modeled objects. However, a disciplined approach to CAD work is required for these values to be accurate.

## Physical experimentation

The MoI of irregular objects can be determined experimentally using a compound-pendulum method as described in [The Experimental Determination of the Moments of Inertia of Airplanes by a Simplified Compound-Pendulum Method](https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19930082299), NACA Technical Note No. 1629.
