Abstract
A preprocessor providing the inertia data of elastic bodies for multibody algorithms is considered. The desired capability of including stress stiffening terms leads to a high computational effort. The method presented allows a straight forward implementation of the basic formulas by starting with the development of a special purpose symbolic calculator. A rotating elastic ring serves as an example.
