Creating prismatic joints between triads on a translated FE part fails #30

Closed kmokstad closed 1 month ago

kmokstad commented 1 month ago

The attached model prismatic-issue.zip contains three identical parts (common FE model), but where Part 2 and 3 are offset in Y-direction w.r.t. Part 1. There are two triads attached to each end of the parts, in addition to one unattached triad in the middle for each part.

Creating Prismatic Joint between Triads works fine on the first part which has not been moved after it was imported.

However, doing the same for the second and third part fails: Picking the middle triad as the slave only result in the error message Selected Triad is not along the line through the two Master triads and the joint is not created. Actually, when doing this for Part 2, and then selecting the middle triad on Part 1 instead, it is accepted and the joint i s created. However, its master cure is then displayed on Part 3 and the slave on Part 1, and nothing on Part 2 where the joint should have been. The visualization of the attached end triads on Part 2 also vanishes (although the Triads are still present in the Objects list view): image

Apparently the translation of the 2nd and 3rd FE parts creates problems for this joint creation command.
