How to model the rigid link in SACS?
Rigid links can be modelled using Offsets where an invisible rigid link is introduced between the end of the member and the connecting joint.
SACS also supports master/slave joint relationships with individually coupled degrees of freedom, although this isn't quite the same as rigid links.
Finally, you can model a rigid link just by using a very stiff member. You can modify the modulus of elasticity to effectively model a rigid element.
