The mechanical domain components appear in the Mechanical folder of Physical Domains in
the «Basics» tab. The folder provides mechanical basic components to model simple mechanical
equivalent circuits. There are two representation forms: the displacement-force representation
and the velocity-force representation. The table shows the across and through
quantities used of the representation forms.
By default, components and wires of the mechanical domain are represented in blue for translational
systems and in lilac for rotational systems. Select SHEET>PROPERTIES to change the
wire color of the domain. You can only change the wire color. The symbol color is not affected
by the setting.
