25 | | -<p>The Cylindric joint object is used to represent a Cylindric joint in a FEDEM model. |
26 | | -A Cylindric joint has four unconstrained DOFs that allow both translational |
27 | | -displacement along the local z-axis, and rotation about the local z-axis. |

| 25 | +<p>The Cylindric joint object is used to represent a Cylindric joint in a FEDEM model.</p> |

| 27 | +<p>A Cylindric joint consists of a slave triad sliding along a straight path |
| 28 | +defined by two or more master triads. The local coordinate system of the joint |
| 29 | +is defined with its Z-axis directed along the slide path. The X- and Y-axes |
| 30 | +are then defined from the coordinate systems of the master triads.</p> |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +<p>The Cylindric joint has four unconstrained DOFs that allow for translational |
| 33 | +displacement along the local Z-axis, and rotation about all three axes. |
| 34 | +It has two joint DOFs with property settings. They allow you to control the |
| 35 | +translational displacement of the slave triad relative to the first master triad |
| 36 | +along the local Z-axis (the slider variable), and the |
| 37 | +angle of rotation of the slave triad about the local Z-axis, respectively. |
| 38 | +The rotation angle is measured between the X-axis of the first master triad and |
| 39 | +the X-axis of the slave triad. |
28 | 40 | It does not constrain motion in the other two rotational directions.</p> |

30 | | -<p>The Cylindric joint has two joint DOFs. They are the translational distance |
31 | | -along the local z-axis from the first master to the slave (the slider variable) |
32 | | -and the angle of rotation of the slave about the local z-axis. |
33 | | -The rotation angle is measured between the x-axis of the first master triad and |
34 | | -the x-axis of the slave triad.</p> |
