RearrangeDParametersB

RearrangeDParametersB[linkage, {vars}]
function rearranges the derived parameters - if it is possible - in such a way that the list of {vars} become the new list of driving variables.
  • The loop closing variables are selected by default with a simple heuristic during the kinematic pair definition process. This automatic selection can be overrided with the RearrangeDParametersB function.
  • This function selects vars as the list of driving variables and distribute the remaining list of variables among the $LDDerivedParametersB records.
  • The number of new driving variables (vars) should be equal with the old ones.
  • The function checks whether the rearrangement is possible and retruns the new linkage only if the rearrangement does not violate constraints.
