Properties
Connection
Pin
Chip pin to connect the solenoid circuit to. NB) Solenoid cannot be moved unless there is a valid connection. 
Simulation
Moving part
A panel object to be moved back and forth when the solenoid is activated. 
Pivot object
A position to rotate around when the solenoid type is set to 'Rotate' Not required for linear solenoids. 
Type
The type of motion of the solenoid actuator. 
Axis
For linear solenoids, the axis along which the actuator will move. For rotary solenoids, the axis around which it will rotate. 
Distance
For linear solenoids, the distance between the 'off and 'on' states in model units. For rotary solenoids, the rotation in degrees. 
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.
