Information

Library PlanarMechanics is a free Modelica package providing 2-dimensional mechanical components to model mechanical systems, such as robots, mechanisms, vehicles, where MultiBody library is unnecessarily complex.

In order to know how the library works, first have a look at:

• UsersGuide describes the principle ways to use the library.
• Examples contains examples that demonstrate the usage of the library.
