The positional errors for Joints are measured as divergences of the Joint positions from their owning Nodes. The maximum permissible errors are defined, as for Sections, in terms of a Joint’s eccentricity.
Note: Joint eccentricities are defined separately for Pjoint (Primary Joint) and Sjoint (Secondary Joint) elements.

ECCENTRICITY PJOINT SJOINT
Description:
The ECCENTRICITY PJOINT and ECCENTRICITY SJOINT commands specify the maximum permissible distance between the position of a Primary Joint or a Secondary Joint, respectively, and that of its owning Node before a diagnostic message is output.

Examples: |
|
|---|---|
|
ECC PJOINT 1 |
Maximum error in Primary Joint position is 1 mm |
|
ECC SJOINT 1 |
Maximum error in Secondary Joint position is 1 mm |
|
ECC PJOIN 0.1 INCH |
Maximum error in Primary Joint position is 0.1 inch |
|
ECC PJOIN DEFAULT |
Resets permissible Primary Joint error to 1 mm |
|
ECC SJOIN DEF |
Resets permissible Secondary Joint error to 1 mm |
