I = me.inertia(A, iXX….) gives the inertia in the (normally) body  - fixed 
frame A
Body = Me.RigidBody( ‚Body‘, mass center, frame, mass, ( I, P))

My question: Does RigidBody ‚assume‘, that mass center = P ?

Reason behind my question:
 For regular homogenious bodies, iXX, IYY, etc are often known relative to 
the geometric center of the body.
If the mass center is not equal to the geometric center of the body, would 
RigidBody know, that the inertia is relative to the geometric center?

In my program, the kinetic energy comes out right, if I set mass center = 
geometric center, but incorrect if I do not.
Therefore, I wonder, whether there is a mistake in my program, or whether 
RigidBody assumes that P = mass center.

Thanks a lot for any help!
