Question: Modeling different kind of coordinates (good pictures i hope this time)

Hello,

In multibodies system, there exists many kind of coordinates namely joint (or relative) coordinates and absolute coordinates. Moreover, for the joint (or relative) coordinates, it is possible to choose strict, simplified, or complete coordinates.

For the moment, i only find in the tutorials system modeled with complete joint (or relative) coordinates. I will give the example of a 4 bars mechanism. The kinematic scheme with this complete joint coordinates is the following :

 

So, in maplesim, i didn't see how to model the others kind of coordinates which are presented in the following pictures.

How it is possible to model the strict joint (or relative coordinates) ? Is there somewhere in the joint definition where you can find to use the parameter linked to the joint or not ?

As i have already asked in previous post, how can i model a system with absolute coordinates ?

I'm sorry for the 2 last questions with bad pictures. I don't know how i can delete these 2 last questions. Thank you for deleting the 2 last pictures
