The CARTESIAN connection does not impose kinematic constraints. It defines three local directions at node a and measures the change in position of node b along these local coordinate directions. The local directions at node a follow the rotation of node a. The position of node b relative to node a is The available components of relative motion are where , , and are the initial coordinates of node b relative to the local coordinate system at node a. The connector constitutive displacements are The kinetic force is In two-dimensional analysis , , , and . Summary
