simscape.multibody.TelescopingJoint Class

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

Construct telescoping joint

Since R2022a

Description

Use an object of the simscape.multibody.TelescoptingJoing class to construct a telescoping joint. The object models a transformation between the follower frame with respect to the base frame. The transformation includes an unconstrained 3-D rotation, followed by a translation along the z-axis of the follower frame generated after the rotation.

The properties of the TelescoptingJoing object contain a simscape.multibody.SphericalPrimitive object and a simscape.multibody.PrismaticPrimitive object.

Creation

Description

tj = simscape.multibody.TelescopingJoint constructs a telescoping joint with default values.

Properties

S — Spherical primitive

simscape.multibody.SphericalPrimitive object

Spherical primitive, returned as a simscape.multibody.SphericalPrimitive object. The spherical joint primitive corresponds to an unconstrained 3-D rotation of the follower frame with respect to the base frame.

Pz — Prismatic primitive along z-axis

simscape.multibody.PrismaticPrimitive object

Prismatic primitive along the z-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 z-axis of the follower frame generated after the rotation.
