Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Types

Information

In this package types and constants are defined that are used in the MultiBody library. The types have additional annotation choices definitions that define the menus to be built up in the graphical user interface when the type is used as parameter in a declaration.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Package (Icon for standard packages).

Package Content

Name	Description
Axis	Axis vector with choices for menus
AxisLabel	Label of axis with choices for menus
RotationSequence	Sequence of planar frame rotations with choices for menus
Color	RGB representation of color (will be improved with a color editor)
RealColor	RGB representation of color as Real type
SpecularCoefficient	Reflection of ambient light (= 0: light is completely absorbed)
ShapeType	Type of shape (box, sphere, cylinder, pipecylinder, cone, pipe, beam, gearwheel, spring, dxf-file)
ShapeExtra	Reflection of ambient light (= 0: light is completely absorbed)
ResolveInFrameA	Enumeration to define the frame in which an absolute vector is resolved (world, frame_a, frame_resolve)
ResolveInFrameB	Enumeration to define the frame in which an absolute vector is resolved (world, frame_b, frame_resolve)
ResolveInFrameAB	Enumeration to define the frame in which a relative vector is resolved (world, frame_a, frame_b, frame_resolve)
RotationTypes	Enumeration defining in which way the fixed orientation of frame_b with respect to frame_a is specified
GravityTypes	Enumeration defining the type of the gravity field
Init
Defaults	Default settings of the MultiBody library via constants
