Class: djointhinge2

The hinge-2 joint is the same as two hinges connected in series, with different hinge axes. An example, shown in the above picture is the steering wheel of a car, where one axis allows the wheel to be steered and the other axis allows the wheel to rotate. The hinge-2 joint has an anchor point and two hinge axes. Axis 1 is specified relative to body 1 (this would be the steering axis if body 1 is the chassis). Axis 2 is specified relative to body 2 (this would be the wheel axis if body 2 is the wheel). Axis 1 can have joint limits and a motor, axis 2 can only have a motor. Axis 1 can function as a suspension axis, i.e. the constraint can be compressible along that axis. The hinge-2 joint where axis1 is perpendicular to axis 2 is equivalent to a universal joint with added suspension.

Method overview:


new ([djointgroup group])
returns: (djointhinge2)
creates a new hinge2joint
anchor (djointhinge2,[float x,y,z])
returns: ([float x,y,z])
Sets/gets hinge-2 anchor.
angle1 (djointhinge2)
returns: ([float])
anglerate1 (djointhinge2)
returns: (float)
anglerate2 (djointhinge2)
returns: (float)
axis1 (djointhinge2,[float x,y,z])
returns: ([float x,y,z])
Sets/gets hinge-2 axis1. Axis 1 and axis 2 must not lie along the same line.
axis2 (djointhinge2,[float x,y,z])
returns: ([float x,y,z])
Sets/gets hinge-2 axis2. Axis 1 and axis 2 must not lie along the same line.
suspensioncfm (djointhinge2,[float])
returns: ([float])
