For Centroid of source and Centroid of destination, the joint is located at the centroid of the selection giving the source or destination, respectively.
|
•
|
For Center of mass, the center of joint is taken as the center of mass of the gear.

|
For Centroid of selected entities select an Entity level — Boundary, Edge, or Point. The available choices depend on geometrical dimension. The center of joint is located at the centroid of the selected entities. As a special case, you can select a single point, and thus use that point as center of joint.
|
When chosen, a default Center of Joint: Boundary, Center of Joint: Edge, or Center of Joint: Point subnode is automatically added.

For Select a parallel edge an edge can be selected on the Joint Axis subnode, which is added automatically. The vector from the first to the last end of the edge is used to define the joint axis. Any edge in the model can be used. Select the Reverse direction check box to reverse the direction of the joint axis.
