Entity Properties | The attributes of an entity are called properties. The properties of a point entity are the X coordinate, Y coordinate, and Z coordinate. Body entities have mass and inertia properties. A property can be a simple scalar value or it can be a mathematical expression that makes a property a function of other properties in the model. |
Entity Pairs | MotionView can store entities as pairs and provides
tools for managing symmetry. Each side of a symmetric model is separately maintained
to avoid having to build one half of a model and mirror it to create a full model.
Symmetry is turned on or off using the Symmetric Properties option.![]() |
