CamToLine1
2D• CamToLine1[cnum, locuspoint, {alpha, guess}, axis] models a cam surface with a flat follower.
• The locus of locuspoint defines the cam surface as a function of the symbol alpha (locuspoint must be defined as a function of alpha).
• CamToLine1 enforces that the surface of the cam profile lies tangent to axis.
• CamToLine1 constrains one degree of freedom. • CamToLine1 generates two constraint equations and introduces one new variable, alpha, hence constraining one degree of freedom.
• The first equation constrains the point of contact to lie on the line, and the second equation constrains the normal to the cam profile at the contact point to be orthogonal to the line.
