RelativeDistance1 2D/3D• RelativeDistance1[cnum, point1, point2, dist] models a connecting link. The absolute distance from point1 to point2 is constrained to be equal to dist. • RelativeDistance1 constrains one degree of freedom. • In Modeler2D, RelativeDistance1 effectively constrains point1 to lie on a circle of radius dist that is centered about point2. • In Modeler3D, RelativeDistance1 constrains point1 to lie on a sphere of radius dist that is centered at point2. • RelativeDistance1 is singular if dist becomes equal to zero; use Revolute2 or Spherical3 instead. • See also: PointOnCircle2, SetConstraints, SysCon.
