About Creating Joints

Defining Machine Kinematics Using V5 Data and Using Rigid Joints provides information about the algorithm for creating three kinds of joints:
  • rigid
  • prismatic
  • revolute

The complete list of available joint types appears below.

Revolute Roll Curve 
Prismatic Slide Curve
Cylindrical    Point Curve 
Spherical  Point Surface
Planar Universal
Rigid   

In addition to these joint types, there is a method of creating joints using frames that relies on Joint from Axis .
