BodyBox
Rigid body with box shape. Mass and animation properties are computed from box data and density (12 potential states)
Library

Description
Rigid body with box shape. The mass properties of the body (mass, center of mass, inertia tensor) are computed from the box data. Optionally, the box may be hollow. The (outer) box shape is by default used in the animation. The hollow part is not shown in the animation. The two connector frames frame_a and frame_b are always parallel to each other. Example of component animation (note, that the animation may be switched off via parameter animation = false):
A BodyBox component has potential states. For details of these states and of the "Advanced" menu parameters, see model MultiBody.Parts.Body.
