Explanation
Vertex to Vertex
This feature creates a rigid link by setting a vertex dependent to another vertex.
[Method]
Select vertex to vertex.[Select Target]
Set the degree of freedom of the selected slave vertex dependent to the master vertex.
[Degrees of Freedom]
Select the type of degree of freedom to apply to the master vertex.Rigid : Select rigid properties.
User Defined : Select user defined degree of freedom.
Vertex to 1D Member
This feature creates a rigid link by setting a vertex dependent to a 1D member.
[Method]
Select the Vertex to 1D Member.[Select Target]
Select a vertex and the 1D member.
[Degrees of Freedom]
Select the type of degree of freedom to apply to the master vertex.Rigid : Rigid properties
User Defined : Select user defined degree of freedom.
[Master Point]
Select whether the vertex or the 1D member is the master.
1D Member to 2D Member
This feature creates a rigid link by setting a 1D member dependent to a 2D member.
[Method]
Select the 1D Member to 2D Member.[Select Target]
Select a 1D member and a 2D member.
[Define Direction]
Set the direction of the rigid link.Shortest Direction : The shortest distance between two object.
Direction Vector : Enter the direction manually.
[Degrees of Freedom]
Select the type of degree of freedom to apply to the master vertex.Rigid : Select rigid properties.
User Defined : Select user defined degree of freedom.
[Master Point]
Select whether the 1D member or the 2D member is the master.
