Abstract
Methods for model simulation and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes receiving a simulation model in the data processing system, the simulation model including at least one master joint connected to at least one slave joint by a coupling, the master joint having a rigid body master attachment and the slave joint having a rigid body slave attachment. The method includes identifying a master axis of the master attachment and a slave axis of the slave attachment. The method includes making a motor determination as to whether the master axis or the slave axis has a motor and making a cross-base determination. The method includes making a constraint determination of which bodies to constrain based on the motor determination and the cross-base determination, storing constraints according to the constraint determination, and executing the simulation model according to the constraint determination.
