public class New6Dof extends Constraint
A 6 degree-of-freedom Constraint based on Bullet's btGeneric6DofSpring2Constraint.

From the Bullet manual:
This generic constraint can emulate a variety of standard constraints, by configuring each of the 6 degrees of freedom (dof). The first 3 dof axis are linear axis, which represent translation of rigid bodies, and the latter 3 dof axis represent the angular motion. Each axis can be either locked, free or limited.

For each axis:

  • Lowerlimit = Upperlimit → axis is locked
  • Lowerlimit > Upperlimit → axis is free
  • Lowerlimit < Upperlimit → axis is limited in that range

      public New6Dof(PhysicsRigidBody rigidBodyB, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInB, com.jme3.math.Vector3f pivotInWorld, com.jme3.math.Matrix3f rotInB, com.jme3.math.Matrix3f rotInWorld, RotationOrder rotationOrder)
      Instantiate a single-ended New6Dof constraint with all rotation DOFs free and all translation DOFs locked.

      To be effective, the constraint must be added to the body's PhysicsSpace and the body must be dynamic.

      Parameters:
      rigidBodyB - the body to constrain (not null, alias created)
      pivotInB - the pivot location in B's scaled local coordinates (not null, unaffected)
      pivotInWorld - the pivot location in physics-space coordinates (not null, unaffected)
      rotInB - the orientation of the constraint in B's local coordinates (rotation matrix, not null, unaffected)
      rotInWorld - the orientation of the constraint in physics-space coordinates (rotation matrix, not null, unaffected)
      rotationOrder - the order in which to apply axis rotations (not null)
