Point to Deformable Surface (PTDSF)
The point to deformable surface joint constrains a fixed point on a body to slide along a surface that passes through the origins of a specified set of markers. These markers may belong to different bodies. As the markers move in space, the surface is calculated at every time step using CUBIC spline interpolation through the marker origins. Hence, the surface deforms as the markers move about.
- One deformable surface (created using the Deformable Surface panel).
- One body and one point (to be used as part of the point to deformable surface joint definition).
