Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

Model VoluminousWheel provides a simple visualization of a tire using a torus and a pipe shape object. The center of the wheel is located at connector frame_a (visualized by the red coordinate system in the figure below).

Parameters (9)

animation

Value: true

Description: Width of the tire
rCurvature

Value: 0.30

Type: Radius (m)

Description: Radius of the tire's cross section
color

Value: {64, 64, 64}

Type: RealColor

Description: Color of tire
specularCoefficient

Value: 0.5

Type: SpecularCoefficient
