Creating Advanced Bodies - simphysoftwares/SimPHY-docs GitHub Wiki

(You can skip this page if you find it difficult at this point of time. We have added this part here to have the right flow of this documentation. You might cover this part after you have gone through all of Mechanics module tutorial.)

Advanced shapes can be created from the Tools menu as shown below.

  1. Constructive Bodies: Two or more bodies can be overlapped upon each other (while simulation is in paused state). Then you can either create Union, Intersection, Difference, Exclusive OR kind of body with respect to two bodies selected.

  2. Bodies from curves and text (Free Hand curves): We can input any curve by selecting 'Curve From Points' and Text body by selecting 'Body from Text'. Font and Font size can be changed for Text Bodies and Number of points and smoothness of curve can be changed as shown in video below.

  3. Making bodies from imported images: We will take this part in detail over making simulations interactive and visually appealing later. But the video below will see in brief about how imported images can be imposed over any body, or how we can cut and make body of desired shape directly from image.
