connectorFrame
General connector for planar mechanical components
Information
Frame is a connector which lies at the origin of the coordinate system attached to it. Cut-force and cut-torque act at the origin of the coordinate system and are resolved in the PlanarWorld frame. Normally, this connector is fixed to a mechanical component. But it is never used directly in a system - use either of inherited frames instead, e.g. Frame_a.

| SI.Position | y | Frame position in y-direction of planar world frame | |
| SI.Angle | phi | Frame angle relative to planar world frame (positive counter-clockwise) | |
| SI.Force | fx | Force in x-direction of planar world frame | |
| SI.Force | fy | Force in y-direction of planar world frame | |
| SI.Torque | t | Torque in phi-direction (positive counter-clockwise) |
