CheckRedundantEquations

CheckRedundantEquations
is an option of DefineKinematicPair function. If this option is true the loop closing equations are generated by taking into account of the redundant constraint equations.
  • Redundant constraint equations are supposed to be automatically satisfied by the other loop cloosing constraints. In case of certain complicated mechanism definition, where the mechanism is working in a singular configuration, the redundant equations should be included in order ensure the correct calculatein in the whole range of the driving variables.
  • Loop closing equations become more complicated if redundant equations are also considered.
