  638. <div class="sectionbody">
  639. <div class="paragraph">
  640. <p>A PhysicsHingeJoint is an invisible connection between two nodes – here between the pendulum body and the hook. Why are hinges and joints represented by the same class? Hinges and joints have something in common: They constrain the <em>mechanical degree of freedom</em> (DOF) of another object.</p>
  641. </div>
  642. <div class="paragraph">
  643. <p>Consider a free falling, “unchained object in physical 3D space: It has 6 DOFs:</p>
  644. </div>
  645. <div class="ulist">
  646. <ul>
  647. <li>
  648. <p>It translates along 3 axes</p>
  649. </li>
  650. <li>
  651. <p>It rotates around 3 axes</p>
  652. </li>
  653. </ul>
  654. </div>
  655. <div class="paragraph">
  656. <p>Now consider some examples of objects with joints:</p>
  657. </div>
  658. <div class="ulist">
  659. <ul>
  660. <li>
  661. <p>An individual chain link is free to spin and move around, but joined into a chain, the link&#8217;s movement is restricted to stay with the surrounding links.</p>
  662. </li>
  663. <li>
  664. <p>A person&#8217;s arm can rotate around some axes, but not around others. The shoulder joint allows one and restricts the other.</p>
  665. </li>
  666. <li>
  667. <p>A door hinge is one of the most restricted types of joint: It can only rotate around one axis.</p>
  668. </li>
  669. </ul>
  670. </div>
  671. <div class="paragraph">
  672. <p>You&#8217;ll understand that, when creating any type of joint, it is important to correctly specify the DOFs that the joint restricts, and the DOFs that the joint allows. For the typical DOF of a <a href="ragdoll.html">ragDoll</a> character&#8217;s limbs, jME even offers a special joint, <code>ConeJoint</code>.</p>
