Using Spherical joint connect Prismatic joint

[ZZhang]

Hello all,

In my scenario, I structured a cable robotics and I using a spherical joint to constraint a prismatic joint to simulate the motor which could release/tighten cables. the structure is shown as follow:

Code: Select all

Shape --> Spherical Joint --> AuxShape --> Prismatic Joint --> Cable Shapes/Joints --> End Effector

However, when the cable is tighten, the Prismatic Joint would rotate to opposite side of Spherical Joint after one shape is dragged through Prismatic Joint which is not intended. Could anyone explain this and it would be very helpful.

Cheers.
