In the following examples we are working at 30 frames per second, so theelapsed time in each snapshot is 2. Version (a) is the default setting and shows a partial stridewith very smooth motion. Version (b) shows the results of doubling the speed of the cycle. Thesnapshot covers the animation of the entire stride. Version (c) shows the results of multiplyingthe length of the stride 2.5 times, at the original speed. The legs are stretched a bit and thecontrol for ball of the foot is past its working range.

An example of a completed linkagedesign including the stationary electrode pair is shown in Fig. 2. Page 12.104.4Requirements and Specifications: 1. The unwelded component will be placed onto the moving platform by a robotic positioner to ensure consistent and proper placement. 2. The platform will continue its motion to bring the weld locations A and B directly under the electrode pair. The platform must dwell for at least 1.5 seconds in this position

6, surfaces A and B were created before C. Note that both A and Btouch patch C at its C’s edges labeled 1 and 2. Note, when A and B were built the continuity onthese shared edges was set to Free. To build patch C, the surface edges of A and B were selectedand NURBS curves selected at edges 3 and 4. Selecting surface edges enables the surface tool tobase it’s continuity off a 3D surface, in this case patches A and B. To set the desired continuityfor patch C, the square surface edit box was opened. C’s edges 1 and 2 were set to curvature,edges 3 and 4 were set to free. This freedom enables the surface tool to position the patch C’ssurface cv’s and achieve surface curvature continuity at edges 1 and 2. The results are zebrastripes that
