# Shear

## About this Block

**What it does:** The **Shear** block shears (movement in which parallel internal surfaces slide past one another) an implicit body based on a Plane, Direction, and Factor of Magnitude for Shear.

**Tips:**

* The Shear direction can’t be perpendicular to the Shear Plane.
