Plugins
Plugins are collections of tools used for specific tasks. These are the base plugins bundled with every LabRPS installation:
- The WindLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of random wind velocity.
- The SeismicLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of seismic ground motion.
- The SeaLab Plugin provides a set of tools for the simulation of sea surface.
External plugins
External plugins are collections of functions that are not part of the base LabRPS system, usually developed by experienced users, and targeting a particular need.
Plugins can be installed using the Addon Manager or the Feature Manager.
Reference
- Commands Reference: A complete list of the available LabRPS commands.
