	The fixed joint maintains a fixed relative position and orientation between two bodies, or between a body and the static environment. ~~Using~~ this joint ~~is almost never a good idea in practice~~, ~~except when debugging. If you need~~ two ~~bodies to be glued together it is better to represent that as~~ a single body.		The fixed joint maintains a fixed relative position and orientation between two bodies, or between a body and the static environment. If you have problems using this joint, try combining the two objects into a single body.

	=== Angular Motor ===		=== Angular Motor ===

	An angular motor (AMotor) allows the relative angular velocities of two bodies to be controlled. The angular velocity can be controlled on up to three axes, allowing torque motors and stops to be set for rotation about those axes (see the "[#~~Stops_and_motor_parameters~~ Stops and motor parameters]" section below). This is mainly useful in conjunction will ball joints (which do not constrain the angular degrees of freedom at all), but it can be used in any situation where angular control is needed. To use an AMotor with a ball joint, simply attach it to the same two bodies that the ball joint is attached to.

To use an AMotor with a ball joint, simply attach it to the same two bodies that the ball joint is attached to.

	The AMotor can be used in different modes. In <code>dAMotorUser</code> mode, the user directly sets the axes that the AMotor controls. In <code>dAMotorEuler</code> mode, AMotor computes the ''euler angles'' corresponding to the relative rotation, allowing euler angle torque motors and stops to be set. An AMotor joint with euler angles is shown in figure 11.		The AMotor can be used in different modes. In <code>dAMotorUser</code> mode, the user directly sets the axes that the AMotor controls.

	The Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) is a free, industrial quality library for simulating articulated rigid body dynamics. Proven applications include simulating ground vehicles, legged creatures, and moving objects in VR environments. It is fast, flexible and robust, and has built-in collision detection.
