Mechanism load

Every delivery into a target of this kind is summed.

Name	Kind	Units	Frame	Shape	Sign	Typical magnitude	Description
apparatus.link_wrench	load	N; N m	world	-1 x 6	on the body each frame is fixed to, about the frame’s origin	0.001	the loads on a chain segment’s frames, one row per frame in the order the segment lists them: [force; torque about the frame’s origin], summed over every delivery. The load target a dynamic segment offers, which a kinematic one does not
body.applied_wrench	load	N; N m	world	6	on the body, about its centre of mass	1e-06	[force; torque], summed over every law that loads the body
body.background_load	load	N; N m	world	6	on the body, held still in the ambient flow, about its centre of mass	1e-06	[force; torque] from the ambient flow, paired with a resistance
toy.body.load	load	N	world	3	on the body	1	the summed load on a toy body
toy.body.torque	load, reserved	N m	world	open (reserved)	on the body	none	reserved, to exercise the refusal of a reserved name
