jit.phys.6dof
A six degrees of freedom constraint in a physics world
Description
The jit.phys.6dof allows for linear and angular constraints of any of the three axes. Each axis can be either locked, free or limited. If only a single body is bound, it is constrained to a point in world space.
Attributes
bias[float]
Sets the magnitude of the limit's position correction (i.e. ow strictly the position error is corrected). For most cases, this attribute value should not be greater than 1 (default = 0.3).
body1[symbol]
The name of the first jit.phys.body to constrain.
body2[symbol]
The name of the second jit.phys.body to constrain.
collisions[int]
Enables collisions between attached bodies (default = 0).
enable[int]
Enable this constraint in the physics simulation (default = 1).
lowerlimit_ang[3 floats]
The lower limits of allowed rotation in degrees (default = 1 1 1). If lowerlimit is greater than upper limit, no limits are applied to the constraint axis.
lowerlimit_lin[3 floats]
The lower limits of allowed translation (default = 0 0 0). If lowerlimit is greater than upper limit, no limits are applied to the constraint axis.
motorstrength[float]
The maximum motor impulse (default 1.).
motorvelocity_ang[3 floats]
Enables angular motor and specifies velocity desired in degrees per second (default = 0).
motorvelocity_lin[3 floats]
Enables linear motor and specifies velocity desired in units per second (default = 0).
position1[3 floats]
The pivot point of body1 as a 3D vector relative to the body1 center of mass (default = 0 0 0).
position2[3 floats]
The pivot point of body2 as a 3D vector relative to the body2 center of mass (default = 0 0 0). If body2 is blank, this is the worldspace position of the constraint.
quat1[4 floats]
The quaternion orientation of body1 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0 1).
quat2[4 floats]
The quaternion orientation of body2 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0 1). If body2 is blank, this is the worldspace orientation of the constraint.
relaxation[float]
The rate at which velocity errors are corrected by limits, effectively the strength of the limits (default = 1.0) . Lower values specify weaker limits. For most cases, the relaxation value should not be greater than 1.
rotate1[4 floats]
Rotation of body1 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0 1).
rotate2[4 floats]
Rotation of body2 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0 1). If body2 is blank, this is the worldspace orientation of the constraint.
rotatexyz1[3 floats]
Euler rotation of body1 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0).
rotatexyz2[3 floats]
Euler rotation of body2 relative to the constraint (default = 0 0 0). If body2 is blank, this is the worldspace orientation of the constraint.
spring_ang[3 ints]
Enable angular spring motor along axis, if non-zero (default = 0 0 0).
spring_lin[3 ints]
Enable linear spring motor along axis, if non-zero (default = 0 0 0).
springdamp_ang[3 floats]
Set the angular spring motor damping for each axis (default = 1 1 1).
springdamp_lin[3 floats]
Set the linear spring motor damping for each axis (default = 1 1 1).
springeq_ang[3 floats]
Set the angular spring motor equilibrium point for each axis, in degrees (default = 0 0 0).
springeq_lin[3 floats]
Set the linear spring motor equilibrium point for each axis (default = 0 0 0).
springstiff_ang[3 floats]
Set the angular spring motor stiffness for each axis (default = 0 0 0).
springstiff_lin[3 floats]
Set the linear spring motor stiffness for each axis (default = 0 0 0).
strength[float]
Set the constraint strength (default = 0.2). Determines what proportion of the joint error will be fixed each simulation step. Values between 0.1 and 0.8 are recommended.
stretch[float]
Set the constraint stretch (default = 0.0). Setting to a positive value allows forces acting on rigid bodies to violate the constraint by an amount proportional to the stretch value.
upperlimit_ang[3 floats]
The upper limits of allowed rotation in degrees (default = -1 -1 -1). If lowerlimit is greater than upper limit, no limits are applied to the constraint axis.
upperlimit_lin[3 floats]
The upper limits of allowed translation (default = 0 0 0). If lowerlimit is greater than upper limit, no limits are applied to the constraint axis.
worldname[symbol]
The name of a jit.phys.world context this constraint is bound to.
worldpos[3 floats]
read-only
The derived constraint world position (default = 0 0 0)
worldquat[4 floats]
read-only
The derived constraint world quaternion (default = 0 0 0 1)
