MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017)

[Anton_S]

Thanks for letting me know. I sort of intend to rewrite MSPhysics over simply recompiling the libraries, which should take a while.

Thanks for the info.

Hi there,

Im trying to apply breaking forces's to scaffold components to simulate when it will fail under a set load.

It looks to be possible by setting a breaking force to the fixed joint. the problem im having is the numbers are not making sense, e.g. when i rest a mass of 4kg on a joint with breaking force of 1962N (equal to 200kg of force) it breaks.

Am i messing up the settings?

Hello Ash Henderson,

You are not messing anything up. Forces from the fixed joints are indeed incorrect. This is a bug in MSPhysics and I will fix it on the next release.

Thanks,
Anton

Thanks Anton, im looking forward to it!

MS Physics has been great in simulating the failure in overloading or over extending cantilever scaffolds.

Keep up the good work, You are doing a fantastic job!

If you look at the posts a few earlier you'll see that it's not compiled for the newer SketchUp version...
Hence the error messages ?

oh, i am sorry! thanks for your reply.

Dang, just paid $300 so I could use this one extension, but it doesn't work with version 2019. Does anyone have any similar suggestions, or a way to create hinge points in a drawing? Thanks

I'm sure a v2019 compatible version is under development...
In the meanwhile you could get v2017 [Make?] and try using it with that for your hinging work...
You can always use 'SaveAs' in a newer version model to get a v2017 SKP that's compatible...

i'm trying to simulate gears and linkages and all my components just fall apart. it's like the joints are weak, and things gradually just start to wobble and fall apart. anyone know if there's a way to stop this? i dont want the joints to break. cheers

If you share the .skp file, we may have better information about the problem you are talking about and we can help you.

Please tell me how to configure the plugin

My sketchup is hiding the objects, when I press start emulation (about 10 seconds). What is happening?

[Ahmed0007]

please update for SU2019

This happens because some objects, like hidden objects fall too far down to the point where your view is clipped. Ensure to assign an Ignore state to the that objects that should not be a part of simulation.

I will try to make the slider joint more useful by the next release. Thank you for your report!
