[SOLVED] Attach Constraint

[Ben]

I want to attach a tetrahedron mesh to a rigid object. The rigid object will then be translated and rotated. I would like the tetrahedrons to move along,but I cant get this to work. The AttachConstraint seems to be what I am looking for but I can’t seem to make it work with an indeformable object. Am I going about this the wrong way?

Dear Ben,

The attached ensures that forces are exchanged and added between the constraint points with the same DOF (Vec3d with Vec3d). I guess it isn’t working since you are trying to relate Vec3d and Rigid.

I guess a solution would be to have a rigid object, one Vec3d mechanical (with one single DOF) mapped together with a RigidMapping. And finally, a AttachContraint between your 1-DOF MechanicalObject and your deformable object.

I hope I’m clear, it’s late!
Cheers,

Hugo
