Properties

 

The user can define friction force using Joint page.

 

Figure 1  Universal property page [Joint page]

 

     Type: Shows the type of joint.

     Friction

    Include Base Friction: The base friction is applied to the base body.

    Include Action Friction: The action friction is applied to the action body.

Sliding and Stiction Friction: Defines the friction force which contains a sliding and stiction algorithm on the universal joint. The check box for Include Friction in Joint property page must be checked to use the friction force. The joint friction of universal joint is same with Revolute Joint.
