Measures can be thought of as sensors used to instrument the models. The workflow consists of instrumenting the model with measures that capture the state of the model, and then using these measure values to compute the value of the applied loads, or to activate and deactivate them.
Joints and Bodies can be instrumented with Measures. For these base measures, derived measures that transform the base measures can be introduced.
To create the Rigid Dynamics Measures folder in the Project tree, click the Insert Measures

.
The corresponding folder appears in the tree.
Note:
All measures are computed and consumed during the solution. The solver uses the consistent unit system that is associated with the user unit system. Therefore, you should define operations done on derived measures, or the tables that consume the measure values, with the consistent unit system in mind.
All rotations are in radians and all rotations velocities are in rad/s.
