simscape.multibody.UniformDensity Class

Namespace: simscape.multibody
Superclasses: simscape.multibody.Inertia

Construct uniform mass distribution with given density

Since R2022a

Description

Use an object of the simscape.multibody.UniformDensity class to construct a uniform mass distribution with a given density. If you define the mass distribution of a solid by using a UniformDensity object, the solid has a constant density over the entire geometry. To compute the properties of a solid, such as the center of mass, moments of inertia, and products of inertia, the UniformDensity object uses the geometry and mass of the solid.

Creation

Description

udmass = simscape.multibody.UniformDensity constructs a uniform mass distribution with default values.

udmass = simscape.multibody.UniformDensity(density) constructs a uniform mass distribution with the specified density.

Properties

Density — Density

simscape.Value(1000,"kg/m^3") (default) | simscape.Value(Rho,"Density unit")

Density, specified as a simscape.Value object that represents a scalar with a unit of density.

Example: simscape.Value(2700,"kg/m^3")
