+Connecting Simscape 1-D mechanical models and 3D models in Simscape Multibody.
+
+
+This file contains example models showing how to connect 3D and 1D mechanical models. 
+Connecting the models using Simscape Physical Signals ensures a lossless transfer 
+of mechanical power between the two systems. This submission contains a library
+that contains the interface blocks (rotational, translational), and example models
+showing how to use them.
+
+You need to ensure that your use of this interface is physically valid.  Connecting
+a 3D mechanical model to a 1D mechanical model requires that you follow a few basic
+rules:
+
+
+1. Never add inertia directly to the node on the Simscape side of the interface.
+  
+   All masses in Simscape models live in an implicit inertial reference frame. A Simscape mechanical 
+   circuit interfaced to a Simscape Multibody machine in general moves in an accelerated frame. A simulation 
+   with such a circuit does not include the pseudoforces acting on the Simscape mass and inertia elements 
+   as experienced in such a noninertial frame and thus violates Newton's second law of mechanics.
+
+2. If you must model inertia in the Simscape network, connect it to the interface element 
+   via a spring and damper connected in parallel.  Be aware that a Simscape circuit does not model 
+   the motion of such bodies along or about axes orthogonal to the coupled primitive axis chosen 
+   in the interfaced Joint.
+
+3. Quantities sensed in Simscape (like translation at a node) may be offset from comparable quantities
+   measured in Simscape Multibody.  This is because the initial position of the Simscape Multibody joint,
+   which is determined during the assembly process, is not automatically conveyed to the Simscape network.
+   Once you know this value (after updating the diagram), you can enter it into the Simscape network.
