simscape.multibody.RectangularJoint Class

Namespace: simscape.multibody
Superclasses: simscape.multibody.Joint

Construct rectangular joint

Since R2022a

Description

Use an object of the simscape.multibody.RectangularJoint class to construct a rectangular joint. The properties of the object contain two simscape.multibody.PrismaticPrimitive objects that model a 2-D transformation of the follower frame with respect to the base frame within the xy-plane of the base frame. The transformation contains two sequential translations that are along the x and y axes of the follower frame, respectively, as shown in the image.

The RectangularJoint object constrains the origin of the follower frame within the xy-plane of the base frame, and the axes of the follower frame are parallel with the corresponding axes of the base frame.

Creation

Description

rj = simscape.multibody.RectangularJoint constructs a rectangular joint with default values.

Properties

Px — Prismatic primitive along x-axis

simscape.multibody.PrismaticPrimitive object

Prismatic primitive along the x-axis of the follower frame, returned as a simscape.multibody.PrismaticPrimitive object. The prismatic primitive corresponds to the translation of the follower frame with respect to the base frame along the x-axis of the follower frame.

Py — Prismatic primitive along y-axis

simscape.multibody.PrismaticPrimitive object

Prismatic primitive along the y-axis of the follower frame, returned as a simscape.multibody.PrismaticPrimitive object. The prismatic primitive corresponds to the translation of the follower frame with respect to the base frame along the y-axis of the follower frame generated after the translation along the x-axis.
