modelFixedShapeVarAnimation

Visualizing an elementary shape with dynamically varying shape attributes (has one frame connector)

Extends from Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Interfaces.PartialVisualizer (Base model for visualizers (has a frame_a on the left side + outer world + assert to guarantee that the component is connected)).

Information

<!DOCTYPE html> <HTML><p>This model is a modification of <a href="Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Visualizers.FixedShape.html">Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Visualizers.FixedShape</a>. The animation can be disabled via the boolean input. Therefore, the dimensions of the animation are set to 0.
