Prescribed Translation

Motion driver that converts input signals into 3-D translational motion

A Prescribed Translation motion driver is identical to an XYZ Translational joint, except that the joint displacements are prescribed by input signals, rather than being free to vary.  The driver assumes that the inputs are C1 continous (i.e. continuous through to velocity).
