formula in mechanism dependencies

Dean Thomas

Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me the correct syntax rules for a formula in the mechanism dependencies dialog?

Hi Dean,

You can write a mathematical expression with the joint names as variables. Available functions are sin, cos, tan, acos, asin, atan, atan2, sqrt, pow. For example:

atan2(140.0 * sin(J1),619.53 - 140.0 * cos(J1))

Thanks!  It seems it likes the spaces between operators.
