Links Menu

In simulation, the behavior of a solid is governed by two things, the first is the total external forces affecting it, and the second is the link that defines the relationship between it and another different solid acts as constraint that are enforced by.

Using the Links Menu, a user can add joints, springs, forces, and torques and other constraints to control the mechanism behavior. The Links Menu contains the following Groups:;

Joints Group

Geometric Group

Spring Group

Force/Torque Group

Gears Group

Pulley Group

The Lock Icon is different in simulation. Locking an object makes it invulnerable against any external force.

In SimLab Composer, every simulation case requires creating solids but creating Links is optional (it depends on the nature of the simulation). A Link defines the relationship of two solids to each other. Consider these prerequisites when you start every simulation project.

Before building a simulation, make sure that it is satisfactory and complete and does not require modifications outside the Simulation Workbench.
