Modeling Options

 

The user can create a joint entity as follows.

 

     Point, Direction

    Point: Selects a point on two bodies to define the location of screw joint.

    Direction: Defines the direction of z-axes of base and action markers as the axis of translation and rotation. The translation displacement and rotation angle are related by pitch.

 

     Point, Direction, Distance

    Point: Selects a point on two bodies to define the location of screw joint.

    Direction: Defines the direction of z-axes of base and action markers as the axis of translation and rotation. The translation displacement and rotation angle are related by pitch.

    Distance: Defines the pitch.

 

     Body, Body, Point, Direction

    Body: Selects a base body of screw joint.

    Body: Selects an action body of screw joint.

    Point: Selects a point on two bodies to define the location of screw joint.

    Direction: Defines the direction of z-axes of base and action markers as the axis of translation and rotation. The translation displacement and rotation angle are related by pitch.
