Rotational to Rotational Couplers

Transmits motion between 2 revolute joints. The following statement must be used to invoke this feature:
COUPLER/id,  JOINTS = joi1,joi2, FUNC = USER(1120,spltype,splid,scale)
where:
 
id
=
coupler id.
joi1
=
revolute joint of the coupler from which motion is transmitted
joi2
=
revolute joint of the coupler to which motion is transmitted
spltype
=
spline interpolation type
1 - akima spline type interpolation
2 - cubic spline type interpolation
splid
=
id of the spline specifying the nonlinear relation between the joints
scale
=
value by which the output to be scaled. Use -1 to reverse sign of the output.
