Description

Class for rotational spring-damper elements with the torque specified through a callback object.

The torque is applied in the current direction of the relative axis of rotation. While a rotational spring-damper can be associated with any pair of bodies in the system, it is typically used in cases where the mechanism kinematics are such that the two bodies have a single relative rotational degree of freedom (e.g, between two bodies connected through a revolute, cylindrical, or screw joint).
