GenTranslate5 3D• GenTranslate5[cnum, axis1, axis2, {sym, guess}] returns a constraint object that introduces a slave body into the model represented by a single generalized coordinate sym. • The axis1 body is a slave to the axis2 body with one degree of translational freedom. The two axes are constrained to be colinear, and the distance from the origin of axis2 to that of axis1, in the direction of axis2, is represented by sym. The projections of the reference directions of the two axes are constrained to be parallel. • Note that GenTranslate5 actually adds one degree of freedom to the model, as opposed to constraining five degrees of freedom like Translate5. • See also: SetConstraints, SysCon, Translate5.
