Phys Constraints: Fixed and Type Parameters // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by frootee // Jul 5, 2007, 4:59am frootee Total Posts: 2667 Hi Folks. I have a question. What do the Fixed and Type parameters in the physical constraints panel in the link editor mean? Here's a snapshot. Reason I am asking is, during a simulation I was doing, the constraint line seemed to stretch, like a rubber band, allowing the object to drift downward. I thought the constraint would act like a rigid pipe, and not stretch. I was trying to get an object to pivot about its center of gravity. This stretching caused it to look really funny and out of sorts. I increased the time steps, which helped somewhat but not good enough. I think a better solution would be to add a single joint to the object and make it rotational only. Thanks, Frootee Post by Norm // Jul 5, 2007, 6:53am Norm Total Posts: 862 Gosh, I am sorry this slipped by the manual. I will try and get some info on it and reply back here with info.

Frootee Post by frootee // Jul 5, 2007, 12:13pm frootee Total Posts: 2667 Actually, I think I only saw this info in the manual. That's where the screen shot came from. I checked my version of ts 7.51 and there are no checkboxes for Fixed, Time, and Type. Hm. Perhaps my mistake. Frootee
