*OrientJoint()
Creates an orient joint.
Syntax
*OrientJoint(joint_name,"joint_label",body_1, body_2, origin_1, origin_2)
Arguments
- joint_name
- The variable name of the orient joint.
- joint_label
- The descriptive label of the orient joint.
- body_1
- The first body constrained by the orient joint.
- body_2
- The second body constrained by the orient joint.
- origin_1
- The location of marker i attached to body_1.

Comments
An orient joint constrains all three relative rotations between the two bodies. The relative translations, however, are unconstrained.
