rigidBody node

The table doesn’t list the compound vector attributes force (for), velocity (vel), and torque (tor). These attributes consist of their X, Y, and Z components.

Long name	Short name	Description	Data type
forceX	fx	Force on the rigid body in the X direction.	float
forceY	fy	Force on the rigid body in the Y direction.	float
forceZ	fz	Force on the rigid body in the Z direction.	float
velocityX	vx	Velocity of the rigid body in the X direction.	float
velocityY	vy	Velocity of the rigid body in the Y direction.	float
velocityZ	vz	Velocity of the rigid body in the Z direction.	float
torqueX	trx	Torque on the rigid body in the X direction.	float
torqueY	try	Torque on the rigid body in the Y direction.	float
torqueZ	trz	Torque on the rigid body in the Z direction.	float

Contact attributes

A rigid body has read-only attributes that contain data on the contact made with it during collisions. You can query the attributes in MEL commands or expressions by using the attribute names in the table that follows.

Long name	Short name	Description	Data type
contactCount	cct	Number of contacts in the current frame.	integer
contactPosition	cnp	Position of each point contact in the current frame. The length of the array is equal to contactCount.	vector array
contactName	cnn	List of rigid body names that are in contact with the rigid body. The array is of length contactCount.	string array
