Joint (Object)

Interface to manage the Joint object.
Depending on their type, joints have parameters or not, representing length or angle:
Joint type Parameter1 Parameter2
Revolute Angle
Prismatic Length
Cylindrical Length Angle
Screw Length Angle
Gear Angle Angle
Rack Length Angle
Cable Length Length
PointOnCurve Length
RollCurve Length

Each parameter can have a lower and/or an upper limit.

Methods are provided to set, unset and return the limits for each parameter.

Property Index

CurrentValue1
Gets the joint current value for first parameter.
CurrentValue2
Gets the joint current value for second parameter.
LowerLimit1
Gets or returns the lower limit of the joint, for the first parameter.
LowerLimit2
Gets or returns the lower limit of the joint, for the second parameter.
Type
Returns the joint type.
UpperLimit1
Gets or returns the upper limit of the joint, for the first parameter.
UpperLimit2
Gets or returns the upper limit of the joint, for the second parameter.

Method Index

UnsetLowerLimit1
Unsets the lower limit of the joint, for the first parameter.
UnsetLowerLimit2
Unsets the lower limit of the joint, for the second parameter.
UnsetUpperLimit1
Unsets the upper limit of the joint, for the first parameter.
UnsetUpperLimit2
Unsets the upper limit of the joint, for the second parameter.

Properties


o Property CurrentValue1() As (Read Only)
Gets the joint current value for first parameter.
Parameters:
oCurrentValue
This property is read only because current value modification is done by solver
o Property CurrentValue2() As (Read Only)
Gets the joint current value for second parameter.
Parameters:
oCurrentValue
This property is read only because current value modification is done by solver
o Property LowerLimit1() As
Gets or returns the lower limit of the joint, for the first parameter.
Parameters:
iLimitValue
The value for the limit When reading, an error is returned if the joint type has no such parameter, or if the limit is unset.
o Property LowerLimit2() As
Gets or returns the lower limit of the joint, for the second parameter.
Parameters:
iLimitValue
The value for the limit When reading, an error is returned if the joint type has no such parameter, or if the limit is unset.
o Property Type() As (Read Only)
Returns the joint type.
Parameters:
oType
The type of the joint This property is read only because the construction of the object depends on the type.
o Property UpperLimit1() As
Gets or returns the upper limit of the joint, for the first parameter.
Parameters:
iLimitValue
The value for the limit When reading, an error is returned if the joint type has no such parameter, or if the limit is unset.
o Property UpperLimit2() As
Gets or returns the upper limit of the joint, for the second parameter.
Parameters:
iLimitValue
The value for the limit When reading, an error is returned if the joint type has no such parameter, or if the limit is unset.

Methods


o Sub UnsetLowerLimit1()
Unsets the lower limit of the joint, for the first parameter.
Parameters:
iLimitValue
The value for the limit When reading, an error is returned if the joint type has no such parameter, or if the limit is unset.
o Sub UnsetLowerLimit2()
Unsets the lower limit of the joint, for the second parameter.
Parameters:
iLimitValue
The value for the limit
o Sub UnsetUpperLimit1()
Unsets the upper limit of the joint, for the first parameter.
Parameters:
iLimitValue
The value for the limit
o Sub UnsetUpperLimit2()
Unsets the upper limit of the joint, for the second parameter.
Parameters:
iLimitValue
The value for the limit
