Comments

  1. The main (primary) and secondary nodes must have non-zero mass and inertia.
  2. The main (primary) node is not moved to the center of gravity of the body.
  3. All nodes are equivalent (no distinction between main and secondary nodes in this formulation) and may have other kinematical conditions of Lagrange Multiplier type.
