It is possible to find the moment of inertia for any cross-section you like by using the section tool. Select the part you would like to section and select the section tool. Inside of this tool, you should select the box that says, Define Section Tool. Then select the face, edge, or point you want to section about, and ensure that you choose the correct Section tool type to see the cross-section you want. When you see the result you want,  press the green checkmark to finish the command. Find the Section Tool feature inside the Scene Browser, and right-click it. Select the option that says “Create Section Geometry” Select the profile generated from the command and go to the Analysis command inside of the tools ribbon bar. Select the Tab for Moments of Inertia. Press Compute. A dialog appears asking if you would like to treat the sheet bodies with surface mass, select No. We also have a quick video guide showing the process as well, Check it out below!
