SGrodlink
by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - Parametric Design
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 5.1, Creation date: 2021-03-11, Last change: 2025-09-15
returns a cylinder with inclined top and bottom surfaces
Description
This function is used to design wrists for kinematic chains.
Bccause of the still problematic boolean function it fails from time to time for w>0 && w<2*pi) due to the significantly more complex calculation of in-plane swept contours

Syntax
SG=SGrodlink([L,RF,RB,ezF,ezB,llf,w])
Input Parameter
L: | | Length of the rod, distance of the frames |
RF: | | [Rx Ry] at the upper end of the rod |
RB: | | [Rx Ry] at the lower end of the rod |
ezF: | | ez at the upper end of the rod |
ezB: | | ez at the lower end of the rod |
llf: | | Length of follower link as factor of max (RF) |
w: | | rotation angle default is 0 |
Output Parameter
