Edit Properties of Body or Joint from the Property Panel - simphysoftwares/SimPHY-docs GitHub Wiki

You can think of a body as the properties of an object that you can see (shape, size, color, orientation, location) and cannot see. Some of the invisible properties are:

  • Mass - how much inertia it has
  • Velocity - how fast and in which direction it's moving
  • Rotational Inertia - how much effort it takes to start or stop spinning
  • Angular Velocity - how fast and which way it's rotating

You can edit such properties and more from the Property Panel by selecting a body. Similarly, we can also edit the properties of joints like size, color, visibility, end points.
