.PlanarMechanics.PlanarWorld

Information

Model PlanarWorld defines all possible general parameters to make parameterization of models much more convenient. It has the following functionalites.

1. It defines the global coordinate system fixed in ground and shows the x, y, z axes in animation if wanted.
2. It contains all default parameters for animation, e.g. axis diameter, default joint length etc, which can still be overwritten by setting parameters in these models.
3. It provides the default gravity definition and its animation.

The pure planar world cannot be coupled to the 3D world. It shall be used when no outer 3D world is available.
