radius: The radius of the coils.; Data type: real

Example

*PointPair(p_spr_upr, "Upper spring point")
*PointPair(p_spr_lwr, "Lower spring point")
*CoilSpringPair(spring,        "Coil Spring",   b_lca, 
                                         b_frame, 
                                         p_spr_lwr, 
                                         p_spr_upr)
*GraphicPair(gr_spr_lead, "Lead Spring",  SPRING, 
                                         spring, 
                                         p_spr_upr, 
                                         p_spr_lwr, 
                                         7,

Comments

To avoid the graphic being visible during MotionSolve result animation in HyperView, set the hide_in_post attribute to {{true}}. For example: *Set(gra_link.hide_in_post, true). This option will set the graphic component's visibility to be turned off when the result H3D is loaded in HyperView.
