Concentric cylindrical faces or edges (for shells)
|
Specifies
cylindrical faces or shell edges to attach a linkage rod connector.
You
select two geometric entities to position the end joints of the
connector.
|
 |
Vertex |
Specifies
two vertices to attach a linkage rod connector. You can also select a vertex for one end joint
of the connector and a cylindrical face or shell edge for the
other end joint.
|
 |
Rigid joint
|
Specifies
the connector's end joint to a rigid joint. A
rigid joint prevents any rotations or deformations. A linkage
rod connector with rigid joints can transfer all moments from
one part to another.
|
 |
Pivot joint
|
Specifies
the connector's end joint to a pivot joint. A
pivot joint allows only one rotation about the axis normal to
the connector's axis.
|
 |
Spherical joint |
Specifies
the connector's end joint to a spherical joint. A
spherical joint acts like a ball and socket joint where the ball
can rotate inside the socket, but it cannot dislocate from the
socket.
|
| |
Offset |
Specifies
an offset distance to position the end joints of the connector. You
can only select cylindrical faces or circular edges to define an
offset distance. |
| |
Section Parameters
|
Specifies
the cross section geometry of the connector:
- Solid
circular
- Hollow
circular
- Solid
rectangular
- Hollow
rectangular
|
| |
Material |
Applies
a material to the connector from the SOLIDWORKS material library or
applies
a custom material. |
