Fields⤴

These are the X3D / X3DOM fields of this node. Values should usually be received / set as strings via DOM functions (i.e., using setAttribute("myFieldName", "myFieldValue") and getAttribute("myFieldName")).

Name	Type	Default Value	Range	Inheritance	Description
angularDampingFactor	SFFloat	0.001	[0,1]		Angular damping factor.
angularVelocity	SFVec3f	0,0,0			The velocity fields are used to provide a constant velocity value to the object every frame. If both forces and velocity are defined, the velocity is used only on the first frame that the node is active, and then the forces are applied.
autoDamp	SFBool	false			The application of damping is controlled through the use of the autoDamp field. When the value is FALSE, no damping is applied. When the value is TRUE, rotational and translational damping is calculated and applied.
autoDisable	SFBool	false			By default, this automatic disabling is turned off. It may be enabled by setting the autoDisable field to TRUE.
centerOfMass	SFVec3f	0,0,0	(-inf, inf)		Center of mass for calculations
disableAngularSpeed	SFFloat	0	[0,inf)		The disable fields define conditions for when the body ceases to considered as part of the rigid body calculations and should be considered as at rest.
disableLinearSpeed	SFFloat	0	[0,inf)		The disable fields define conditions for when the body ceases to considered as part of the rigid body calculations and should be considered as at rest.
disableTime	SFFloat	0	[0,inf)		The disable fields define conditions for when the body ceases to considered as part of the rigid body calculations and should be considered as at rest.
enabled	SFBool	true			The enabled field controls whether the information in this node is submitted to the physics engine for processing. If the enabled field is set TRUE, the node is submitted to the physics engine. If the enabled field is set FALSE, the node is not submitted to the physics engine for processing.
finiteRotationAxis	SFVec3f	0,0,0			The finiteRotationAxis field specifies a vector around which the object rotates.
fixed	SFBool	false			The fixed field is used to indicate that this body does not move. Any calculations involving collisions with this body should take into account that this body does not move. This is useful for representing objects such as the ground, walls etc that can be collided with, have an effect on other objects, but are not capable of moving themselves.
forces	MFVec3f	[]			The torques and forces fields define zero or more sets of torque and force values that are applied to the object every frame. These are continuously applied until reset to zero by the user.
geometry	MFNode	X3DNBodyCollidableNode			The geometry field is used to connect the body modelled by the physics engine implementation to the real geometry of the scene through the use of collidable nodes. This allows the geometry to be connected directly to the physics model as well as collision detection. Collidable nodes have their location set to the same location as the body instance in which they are located. Their position and location are not relative to this object, unless otherwise defined.
inertia	MFFloat	[1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1]			The inertia field represents a 3x2 inertia tensor matrix. If the set values are less than six items, the results are implementation dependent. If the value set is greater than six values, only the first six values of the array are used.
linearDampingFactor	SFFloat	0.001	[0,1]		Linear damping factor.
linearVelocity	SFVec3f	0,0,0	(-inf, inf)		Linear velocity.
mass	SFFloat	1	[0,inf)		The mass field indicates the mass of the body in mass base units. All bodies shall have a non-zero mass, with the default value of 1 mass base unit.
massDensityModel	MFNode	Shape/Shape			The massDensityModel field is used to describe the geometry type and dimensions used to calculate the mass density in the physics model. This geometry has no renderable property, other than for defining the model of the mass density. It is not rendered, nor modified by the physics model.
metadata	SFNode	X3DMetadataObject		Core/X3DNode	Field to add metadata information
orientation	SFRotation	0,0,1,0	[0,1]		The position and orientation fields are used to set the initial conditions of this body's location in world space. After the initial conditions have been set, these fields are used to report the current information based on the most recent physics model evaluation.
position	SFVec3f	0,0,0	(-inf, inf)		The position and orientation fields are used to set the initial conditions of this body's location in world space. After the initial conditions have been set, these fields are used to report the current information based on the most recent physics model evaluation.
torques	MFVec3f	[]			The torques and forces fields define zero or more sets of torque and force values that are applied to the object every frame. These are continuously applied until reset to zero by the user.
useFiniteRotation	SFBool	false			The useFiniteRotation field is used to influence the way the body's rotation is calculated. In very fast rotating objects, such as a wheel of a car, an infinitely small time step can cause the modelling to explode. The default value is to use the faster infinite mode.
useGlobalGravity	SFBool	true			The useGlobalGravity field is used to indicate whether this particular body should be influenced by the containing RigidBodyCollection's gravity setting. A value of TRUE indicates that the gravity is used, a value of FALSE indicates that it is not used. This only applies to this body instance. Contained sub-bodies shall not be affected by this setting.
