Documentation

A link with no geometry, allowing multiple references to subgraphs that can be varied by the synthesizer. This module is useful when the user wants to force the synthesizer to duplicate a particular subgraph (e.g. a leg in a walking robot), but does not want to force the synthesizer to use any particular module as the root of the subgraph. The virtualLink can be used as the root of the subgraph (with multiple incoming const attachments), allowing the child module(s) of the virtual link to be replaced by the synthesizer. This module is not needed when only performing simulations, not synthesis.

This class has no child classes.
