Using Joints

In MSPhysics joints are constraints that restrain body to a particular location with some degrees of freedom.

Use the joints toolbar to create joints.

• Joints created on the top level are going to remain static. Whereas, joints created inside groups, referred to as parent bodies, are going to be movable.
• Use the joint connection tool, to connect joints with their desired groups, referred to as child bodies.
• To connect/disconnect groups with joints, select the joint connection tool, click on the desired joint, hold Ctrl/Shift, and then click on the group to be connected/disconnected.
