VoluminousWheel

Visualizing a voluminous wheel

Diagram

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).
