Properties
- Property Commands() As (Read Only)
-
Returns the collection of commands in the mechanism.
- Parameters:
-
- oCommands
- The collection of commands. This property is read only because because list is aggregated in the Mechanism
- Property FixedPart() As
-
Returns or sets the fixed part of the mechanism.
- Parameters:
-
- oFixedPart
- The fixed part.
- Property Joints() As (Read Only)
-
Returns the collection of joints in the mechanism.
- Parameters:
-
- oJoints
- The collection of joints. This property is read only because because list is aggregated in the Mechanism
- Property NbCommands() As (Read Only)
-
Returns the number of commands in the mechanism.
- Parameters:
-
- oNbCommands
- The number of commands. This property is read only because number depends on commands creation/destruction
- Property NbDof() As (Read Only)
-
Returns the degree of freedom of the mechanism.
- Parameters:
-
- oNbDof
- The degree of freedom. This property is read only because because it depends on joints and commands
- Property NbJoints() As (Read Only)
-
Returns the number of joints in the mechanism.
- Parameters:
-
- oNbJoints
- The number of joints. This property is read only because number depends on joints creation/destruction
- Property NbProducts() As (Read Only)
-
Returns the number of products (i.e. bodies) involved in the mechanism.
- Parameters:
-
- oNbProducts
- The number of products. This property is read only because number depends on joints creation/destruction
Methods
