MeasureDistance

MeasureDistance[linkage, linki, linkj]
calculates the parameterized distance vector measured from the origin of linki to origin of linkj markers.
MeasureDistance[linkage, {linki, pi}, {linkj, pj}]
calculates the parameterized distance vector measured from the pi point of linki to pj point of linkj markers.
MeasureDistance[linkage, linki]
calculates the parameterized coordinates of origin of linki w.r.t world reference frame.
MeasureDistance[linkage, {linki, pi}]
calculates the parameterized coordinates of pi point of linki w.r.t world reference frame.
  • The following options can be given:
ReferenceFrameAutomaticReferenceFrame is an option for GetLLRFMatrix function, that specifies the name of the refrence link. The LLRF of this link is the reference coordinate system.
SubstituteParametersFalseSubstituteParameters is an option for GetLLRFMatrix and GetLinkageRules functions,that specifies, whether the numerical values of the linkage parameters should be substitued into the result or not.
SubstitutionListNoneSubstitutionList is an option for GetLLRFMatrix function that defines the substitution list for the calculation
