Ideal functions in all mechanisms are assured by appropriate use of constraints in the form of joints or attachments. Each joint or assembly attachment introduces
constraint functions in the form of non-linear algebraic
equations. Table 2 lists the different types of joint employed
in the assembly of various parts in the vehicle model.
Typical constraint functions for a number of these joints are
given below.
For a spherical joint, for instance between the steering
left front knuckle and its upper wishbone, the following
three constraints pertaining to an at-point condition exist:
