add_fixed_joint¶

add_fixed_joint(master: RotatingObject, slave: RotatingObject) → None¶

It creates a fixed joint between a master rotating object and a slave one. The fixed joint forces the two elements to rotate at the same angular position, speed and acceleration.

The master rotating object is closest to the powertrain driving motor (or it is actually it) and transfers the whole driving torque to the slave one.

Parameters¶

masterRotatingObject: Driving rotating object, it must be an instance of RotatingObject.
slaveRotatingObject: Driven rotating object, it must be an instance of RotatingObject, but not an instance of MotorBase.

Raises

TypeError

If master is not an instance of RotatingObject,
if slave is not an instance of RotatingObject,
if slave is an instance of MotorBase.

ValueError

If master and slave are the same rotating object.
