Dear Fatemeh,

The forum topic I linked above (OC3-Hywind RAOs) shows how to transform the 6x6 mass/center of mass/inertia matrix from the SWL to CG i.e.:

M_cg = TransMat^TM_swlTransMat

where,

TransMat =
[ [ 1 0 0 0 -z_cg y_cg ];
[ 0 1 0 z_cg 0 -x_cg ];
[ 0 0 1 -y_cg x_cg 0 ];
[ 0 0 0 1 0 0 ];
[ 0 0 0 0 1 0 ];
[ 0 0 0 0 0 1 ] ]

and

TransMat^T =
[ [ 1 0 0 0 0 0 ];
[ 0 1 0 0 0 0 ];
[ 0 0 1 0 0 0 ];
[ 0 z_cg -y_cg 1 0 0 ];
[ -z_cg 0 x_cg 0 1 0 ];
[ y_cg -x_cg 0 0 0 0 1 ] ]

A general 6x6 mass matrix is written as shown in the image below, where the 3x3 inertia submatrix is defined about the origin of the coordinate system (not the CG).
