Setting initial velocity of dependent coordinates
Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2020 11:22 am
Hi All,
I am using upper extremity dynamic model which uses CoordinateCoupler constraint to calculate the dependent coordinates. When I set the values of independent coordinates, the dependent coordinates also change due to constraints as expected. But when I set the velocities of independent coordinates it does not do anything to the velocities of the dependent coordinates. In fact, I can arbitrarily assign any velocity values to the dependent coordinates. Shouldn't the constraint also affect the velocities of dependent coordinates? Or am I missing anything?
Thanks,
Saurabh
