Point on Line (Ring Joint)

The DVTI_PointOnLineJnt Point on Line Joint (Ring Joint) locates a point to an axis, controlling two DoF's (two translation). The object point in this assembly can slide along the target axis and can rotate about all three directions while maintaining contact with that axis. Examples of a Point on Line joint are a spherical roller in a track or a pin in a shallow hole.
