Rigid Body
Rigid body in the x-y plane
Description
Connections
Parameters
The Rigid Body component models a rigid body that can move in the x-y plane and rotate about the z axis.
The m parameter is the mass of the body.
The Izz parameter is rotational inertia about the z-axis, rotating about framea.
