BodyBox
Rigid body with box shape. Mass and animation properties are computed from box data and density (12 potential states)
Library
Modelica/Mechanics/MultiBody/Parts
Description
Rigid body with box shape.The mass properties of the body (mass, center of mass,inertia tensor) are computedfrom the box data. Optionally, the box may be hollow.The (outer) box shape is by default used in the animation.The hollow part is not shown in the animation.The two connector frames frame_a and frame_bare always parallel to each other. Example of componentanimation (note, thatthe animation may be switched off via parameter animation = false):
A BodyBox component has potential states. For details of thesestates and of the "Advanced" menu parameters, see modelMultiBody.Parts.Body.
