MdlLikeMethods

A series of utilities that can be used to assist in creating models is available in the MdlLikeMethod module.

There are three categories of functions:
  • Entity creation functions: createRevoluteJoint, createSphericalJoint, createUJoint, and createSteelBar.
  • Location Functions, which each return three coordinates: loc_rel_to, loc_cylindrical, loc_along_dir, loc_between, and loc_mirror.
  • Orientation Functions, which return the two vectors xp, zp for the computed orientation: Orientation (angles), Orientation (one axis), Orientation (two axes).
