SystemModel["Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Joints.Assemblies.JointSSP"]
This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.
This component consists of a spherical joint 1 at frame_a, a prismatic joint at frame_b and a spherical joint 2 which is connected via rod 1 to the spherical joint 1 and via rod 2 to the prismatic joint, see the default animation in the following figure (the axes vectors are not part of the default animation):
Besides an optional point mass in the middle of rod 1, this joint aggregation has no mass and no inertia, and introduces neither constraints nor potential state variables. It should be used in kinematic loops whenever possible since the non-linear system of equations introduced by this joint aggregation is solved analytically (i.e., a solution is always computed, if a unique solution exists).
An additional frame_ib is present. It is fixed in rod 2 connecting the prismatic and the spherical joint at the side of the prismatic joint that is connected to this rod (= rod2.frame_a = prismatic.frame_a).
An additional frame_im is present. It is fixed in rod 2 connecting the prismatic and the spherical joint at the side of spherical joint 2 that is connected to this rod (= rod2.frame_b). It is always parallel to frame_ib.
The easiest way to define the parameters of this joint is by moving the MultiBody system in a reference configuration where all frames of all components are parallel to each other (alternatively, at least frame_b and frame_ib of the JointSSP joint should be parallel to each other when defining an instance of this component).
