Description

Use an object of the simscape.multibody.SphericalPrimitive class to construct a spherical joint primitive. A spherical joint primitive has three rotational degrees of freedom and can model an arbitrary 3-D rotation. The spherical primitive appears in many joint objects, such as simscape.multibody.TelescopingJoint and simscape.multibody.SphericalJoint.

Set the ForceLaws property of a spherical joint primitive to a simscape.multibody.SphericalSpringDamper object to apply a torque to the primitive.
