Advanced Joints
Use the Advanced Joints tool to create and edit a set of special constraints called higher pair joints. Typically, these are constraints that involve a curve or surface on at least one of the two bodies.
Advanced Joint Type | Removes Translational DOF | Removes Rotational DOF | Removes Total Number of DOF |
---|---|---|---|
Point to Curve | 2 | 0 | 2 |
Curve to Curve | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Point to Surface | 2 | 3 | 5 |
Curve to Surface | 2 | 3 | 5 |
Surface to Surface | 2 | 3 | 5 |
Point to Deformable Curve | 1 | 3 | 4 |
