Signature

joint = createSphericalJoint(ibody, jbody, location=None, **kwds)

Input Arguments

ibody: The first body on which the joint is created.
jbody: The second body on which the joint is created.
location: The location where the joint is created.
kwds: Keyword arguments that define other properties on the joint.

Return Value

joint: The spherical joint created.

Usage

# Create a spherical Joint at (1,1,1)
part1 = Part(mass=1, ip=[10,10,10], cm=Marker())
part2 = Part(mass=1, ip=[10,10,10], cm=Marker())
joint = createSphericalJoint(
     ibody = part1,   
     jbody = part2,
     location = Point(1,1,1),
     )
