Modelica ID

Image Attachment

The .stl file that you want to display in your 3-D model. This drop-down list contains the names of the .stl files attached to the current model.

Translation Offset

[0,0,0]

m

Offset between the origin of the .stl file and the frame to which it is attached. You can specify a value for this parameter to position the .stl geometry.

Note: The value of the translation offset will not affect the value of the inertia at the center of mass.

InitPos

${\mathrm{Type}}_{\mathrm{\θ}}$

$\left[1\,2\, 3\right]$

Sequence of body-fixed rotations used to describe the offset between the origin of the .stl file and the frame to which it is attached. You can specify a value for this parameter to position the .stl geometry.

RotType

${\stackrel{\&conjugate0;}{\theta }}_0$

$\left[0\,0\, 0\right]$

rad

Rotational offset between the origin of the .stl file and the frame to which it is attached. You can specify a value for this parameter to position the .stl geometry.

InitAng

Scale Factor

1

m

The scale of the imported geometry.

Note: You must specify a numeric value. Custom values defined in parameter blocks, global parameters, or subsystem parameters cannot be used.

scale

color

red

Color of the geometry. For information on using the color selection tools, see Selecting Colors.

color

Dynamic Color

Select this option to enable the Dynamic Color port. With the Dynamic Color port enabled, you can use the Color Blend component to change color throughout the simulation.

isInputColor

Transparent

Select this option to make the geometry component transparent.

transparent

Smooth

When true, adjacent face geometry will appear smooth if their normals are less than or equal to the smooth factor angle.

isSmoothed

Smoothing Angle

15

deg

Angle in degrees when the smoothing algorithm should be applied to adjoining faces.

smoothAngle

Enable Inertia

When checked, the calculated inertial properties are added to the geometry and the port, frame_CoM becomes enabled on the CAD component icon.

useInertia

ρ

1

$\frac{\mathrm{kg}}{m^3}$

Mass density.

rho

Mass

0

kg

The mass of the object. This value is calculated from the value provided in the mass density field, along with the volume specified in the .stl file.

Notes: 

Mass

Inertia

$\left[\begin{array}{rrr}0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 0\end{array}\right]$

$\mathrm{kg}\cdot m^2$

The inertia of the object at the center of mass. Similar to Mass, the inertia is calculated from the value provided in the mass density field.

Notes:

Center of Mass

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0& 0& 0\end{array}\right]$

m

Center of mass value provided in attached .stl file.
