Direction of movement

Vertical push
Diagonal push
Horizontal
Diagonal pull
Vertical pull

Diagonal angle needs to be between 0.0 and 90.0

Friction:

With Friction it is possible to define an overall friction force between a moving mass and a sliding surface. The friction force is based on the gravity force FG due to the specified mass in section Motion Profile and the angle α (see direction of movement). The friction coefficient is the relation between the normal force FN and the friction force FR The friction coefficient between two steel plates can be set to 0.1.


Friction coefficient must be between 0.0 and 10.0
