Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnAddToSimulation	Called when this force effect is added to a simulation. (Inherited from ForceEffect.)
	OnApply	Called when the simulation wants this force effect to apply forces to rigid bodies. (Overrides ForceEffectOnApply.)
	OnDisabled	Called when this force effect was disabled. (Inherited from ForceEffect.)
	OnEnabled	Called when this force effect was enabled. (Inherited from ForceEffect.)
	OnRemoveFromSimulation	Called when this force effect is removed from a simulation. (Inherited from ForceEffect.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Properties

	Name	Description
	AttachmentPositionALocal	Gets or sets the position where the spring is attached to the first body (in local space of the first body).
	AttachmentPositionBLocal	Gets or sets the position where the spring is attached to the second body (in local space of the second body).
	BodyA	Gets or sets the first rigid body.
	BodyB	Gets or sets the second rigid body.
	DampingConstant	Gets or sets the damping constant.
	Enabled	Gets or sets a value indicating whether this ForceEffect is enabled. (Inherited from ForceEffect.)
	Length	Gets or sets the rest length of the spring.
	Simulation	Gets the simulation to which this force effect belongs. (Inherited from ForceEffect.)
	SpringConstant	Gets or sets the spring constant.

Remarks

A better, more stable way to model a damped spring is to use joints instead of this force effect. You can model damped spring by using a PositionMotor. Especially for high spring constants (stiff springs) joints are more stable.
