Hey all,
I am trying to automate adding joints to my simulation. I already succeeded in adding them via the scripting interface in Mechanical but I feel there are some drawbacks to my solution:
- right now, the properties of the joint are defined by the parents name of where my mobile named reference is. This could lead to potential errors if there are typos in the parents name.
- For design studies it would be nice if the properties of the joint are easily changed.
As a solution to these problems I was thinking of adding an additional property to the joint, such that the stiffness/damping can be chosen via a dropdown. I was also thinking about adding a custom "dummy" part where I can add the properties of my joint.
Unfortunately I was yet unable to find any references on how to achieve any of these methods, so I would kindly ask if someone ever had to deal with such an usecase for ACT based scripting and could maybe give me some pointers on how to achieve this/point me to additional ressources.
Kind regards
