Via Boolean parameter <strong>useSupport</strong>, the\nsupport flange is enabled or disabled. If it is enabled, it must be connected.\nIf it is disabled, it need not be connected.\n</p>\n\n<p>\n<img src=\"modelica://Modelica/Resources/Images/Mechanics/Translational/bearing.png\" alt=\"bearing\">\n</p>\n\n<p>\nDepending on the setting of <strong>useSupport</strong>, the icon of the corresponding\ncomponent is changing, to either show the support flange or a ground mounting.\nFor example, the two implementations in the following figure give\nidentical results.\n</p>\n\n<p>\n<img src=\"modelica://Modelica/Resources/Images/Mechanics/Translational/bearing2.png\" alt=\"bearing2\">\n</p>\n\n</html>"));
