HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Actuates a joint to reach a new value.

The mechanism must have the enabled flag set to true for this to be possible.

name: The name of the joint to adjust.
direction: The direction along which the new value will be applied:; 0 - Translation along x-axis; 1 - Translation along y-axis; 2 - Translation along z-axis; 3 - Rotation about x-axis; 4 - Rotation about y-axis; 5 - Rotation about z-axis
value: The desired value of the joint (double).
tolerance: The tolerance allowed when adjusting (double).
lock: If set to 1, all joints in the mechanism which are not part of the cycle of the given joint are locked.
angle_step: The size of the iterative steps used to solve for the new value of the joint. Only used for rotation.
hold_angles: If set to 1, this locks the rotation about axes other than the given direction. If 0, rotation occurs in a way such that the given axis doesn’t move. In this case the Euler angles about other axes can change. This is only for ball joints.

To move a joint named TORSO_to_RIGHT_UPPER_LEG to x=20 y=0 z=0 with tolerance 0.001, locking other joints and angle step = 0:

*mechadjustjoint "TORSO_to_RIGHT_UPPER_LEG" 20.0 0.0 0.0 0.001 1 0

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
