Figure SP 5.11

This animation demonstrates how a "decal" frame is deposited to enable an analysis using material points The decal frames are labeled with black symbols.

The Start button initiates the rotational motion.

The Analyze button stop the motion and deposits "decal" frames. These frames will have the same angular velocity matrix as the gears themselves.

The Continue button will resume the motion. The user will observe that both moving frames have the same angular velocity matrix.

The Reset button returns all values to the initial pre-sets.
