Opening Toolbars - simphysoftwares/SimPHY-docs GitHub Wiki

Mechanics module can be accessed by clicking on Icon showed by white arrow in image below. Hovering over any icon gives its brief description.

MECHANICS TOOLBAR

After clicking on it a subtoolbar will open up consisting:

  1. Bodies toolbar: Create rigid platforms like Inclined planes, walls and ground, shapes like disc, rings, oval, capsules, gears, polygons like triangle, quadrilateral.
  2. Joints toolbar: Create different kinds of constraints (joints) like rope (thread), hinge, pulley, distance joint, spring.
  3. Visualization toolbar: To visualize the motion and causes of it while simulation is running. Here we have Free Body Diagram, Tracer, Ghosting, Camere to change Frame of Reference, Timer, Graphs to plot data between various variables.
  4. Two more icons can be seen on right a) Gravity: To change gravity quickly as per we want and b) Force Vector: To give any body constant or variable force as required
