Hi,
I need to create a spherical joint as a cascade of 3 revolute joints, but if I do it as explained here
http://www.coppeliarobotics.com/helpFil ... iption.htm, it doesn't work, there is no way to connect 2 shapes. I tried all the control modes on the 3 the joints and almost any other setting, but nothing. Can you tell me how to do it please?

Hello,
if you want to do a dynamic simulation, where your shapes have mass and inertia, then you need to carefully follow the rules from
this page.
So instead of having following:
Code: Select all
shape1 --> joint1 --> joint2 --> joint3 --> shape2
you need to have something like:
Code: Select all
shape1 --> joint1 --> auxShapeA --> joint2 --> auxShapeB --> joint3 --> shape2
Cheers
