Hello,
if this needs to be kinematically simulated, then you could simply use revolute joints in passive mode mounted as:
Code: Select all
base --> joint1 --> joint2 --> shape1 --> joint3 --> joint4 --> shape2 --> etc.
if this needs to be dynamically dimulated, then use revolute joints in force/torque mode mounted as:
Code: Select all
base --> joint1 --> auxShape1 --> joint2 --> shape1 --> joint3 --> auxShape2 --> joint4 --> shape2 --> etc.
Consecutive joints should be mountd perpendicular to each other.
Cheers
