About Gravity

The gravity represents the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.

The gravity is one of the parameters taken into account during the dynamics simulation of a mechanism.

By default, the gravity has an acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 along the Z axis.

Important:

The gravity definition is shared by all assemblies and is stored in a CATPreferences file. The modification of the gravity definition affects every mechanism.

Once the CATPreferences file created, the 3D arrow representing the gravity definition still appears in Mechanical Systems Design app.
