Description

simscape.multibody.JointPrimitive is the abstract base class for joint primitives, such as prismatic and revolute primitives. Joint primitives are the building blocks for joints. To construct a joint primitive, use a subclass of the simscape.multibody.JointPrimitive class, such as simscape.multibody.PrismaticPrimitive or simscape.multibody.RevolutePrimitive.

The JointPrimitive class has a DegreesOfFreedom property that indicates the degrees of freedom between the base and follower frames of the joint primitive. To specify internal mechanics (springs and dampers) for a joint primitive, use the InternalMechanics property of the specific joint primitive subclass.
