Description

Base class for joints implemented using the "lock formulation".

Derived classes provide models for revolute, prismatic, spherical, etc. Note that certain kinematic joints (e.g., Universal) cannot be modeled using the lock formulation. Joints of this type can optionally specify 'limits' over upper-lower motions of their respective degrees of freedom, using the ChLinkLimit objects.
