Classes
class	Body
	The Body class represents a reference frame that can be used to describe mass properties and geometry. More...
class	Rigid
	A general rigid body. More...
class	Linear
	This is a rigid body in the shape of a line, which is inherently inertialess about its axis. More...
class	Particle
	This kind of body can only represent an inertialess point mass, with mass center at (0,0,0) in the local frame. More...
class	Massless
	This is a Body that is constitutively massless (and inertialess); meaning that no amount of fiddling with it will ever give it any mass or inertia. More...
class	Ground
	This is a Body representing something immobile, of effectively infinite mass and inertia, that cannot be modified to be anything else. More...
Namespaces
namespace	SimTK
	This is the top-level SimTK namespace into which all SimTK names are placed to avoid collision with other symbols.

Detailed Description

This defines the API for the Body base class and concrete Body types like Body::Rigid that are derived from it.

These are handle classes; the implementation is hidden.
