Rigid Body

Rigid body in the x-y plane

 

Description

Connections

Parameters

Description

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.
