1.Madymo is a registered trademark of TNO Madymo BV.
2.Linking a RADIOSS node to Madymo allows connection of the Madymo body cross referenced MDref to this node:

Madymo body and RADIOSS nodes are treated as a single body, whose mass, inertia and center of mass are equal to those of the Madymo body.

All forces applied to the node are transferred to the Madymo body and turn, the node’s velocity is set according to the body’s velocity.

3.A link is a kinematic condition (the movement of the node is set by the Madymo body); therefore, no other kinematic condition may be set on this node.
4.RADIOSS node mass is not transmitted to the Madymo body; therefore, the RADIOSS node mass should be very small against the Madymo body mass.
5.If the RADIOSS node is the master node of the rigid body, the inertia of the rigid body must be set to spherical.
