Opening Mechanics Module - simphysoftwares/SimPHY-docs GitHub Wiki

Mechanics toolbar can be opened by clicking on the icon shown by white arrow. Hovering over any icon gives us brief description of that icon.

MECHANICS TOOLBAR

After clicking over it you will see a sub-toolbar open up just below where you will find following:

  1. Body toolbar : To select and create different body shapes like rigid walls and ground at any angle, ring, disc, oval, ellipse, polygons etc with accurate dimensions.
  2. Joint toolbar : To provide constraint motion to bodies Simphy has joint toolbar including Rope, Pulley, Hinge, Weld, Prismatic Joints.
  3. Visualize toolbar : To visualize the simulations like Camera (Frame of Reference), Tracer, Graph to plot accurate data, Timer, Force Diagram etc.
  4. Two more separate icons can be seen a) Gravity: To set gravity quickly in the direction required and, b) Force Vector: To create variable or constant forces over any body quickly.
