### Examples

```csharp
// Create a body with a body definition, then attach a circle shape to it.
using UnityEngine;
using Unity.U2D.Physics;

public class CreateBodyExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        PhysicsWorld world = PhysicsWorld.defaultWorld;
        PhysicsBody myObject = PhysicsBody.Create(world, new PhysicsBodyDefinition
        {
            position = new Vector2(0f, 5f)
        });
        myObject.CreateShape(new CircleGeometry { radius = 1.5f });
    }
}
