Macro reference

SetState

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetState
Trun the solenoid on or off using a boolean value. 
Fc9-bool-icon.png - BOOL State
The new state for the solenoid to take. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


SetTarget

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetTarget
Choose an extermal object to move along with the solenoid's actuator 
Fc9-h32-icon.png - HANDLE Object
An object to be moved by the solenoid 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


TurnOff

Fc9-comp-macro.png TurnOff
De-activate the solenoid 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


TurnOn

Fc9-comp-macro.png TurnOn
Activate the solenoid 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-conn-icon.png Connection
Fc9-type-5-icon.png Pin
Chip pin to connect the solenoid circuit to. NB) Solenoid cannot be moved unless there is a valid connection. 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Simulation
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Moving part
A panel object to be moved back and forth when the solenoid is activated. 
Fc9-type-17-icon.png Pivot object
A position to rotate around when the solenoid type is set to 'Rotate' Not required for linear solenoids. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Type
The type of motion of the solenoid actuator. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Axis
For linear solenoids, the axis along which the actuator will move. For rotary solenoids, the axis around which it will rotate. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Distance
For linear solenoids, the distance between the 'off and 'on' states in model units. For rotary solenoids, the rotation in degrees. 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Time (ms)
The time taken for the solenoid to move between the on and off positions. Used only for the purpose of System Panel animations on screen.
