Quick-Return=1 is not in the Motion-Law Selector.0 Quick-Return-1 motion-law is a Rise & Return motion-law. It is continuous in Position, Velocity and Acceleration. Construct the 'Quick-Return 1' motion with two Flexible Polynomial Segments. The first segment is the Rise, and the second segment is the Return. Each segment is a 'mirror' of each other. Usually, the segments have an equal duration, but this is not necessary. Continuity at the Mid-Point Blend-Point At the mid-point, the Position is at a maximum value [in the image, max P=1], and the Velocity is zero. At the mid-point the segments both have a finite, negative acceleration. The acceleration is continuous. The Jerk is also continuous and zero at the mid-point. We can call this a Quick-Return Motion because at the point where the Rise becomes the Return, there is a negative, but continuous acceleration. See Also: Two Segment 'Quick-Return Motion 1'
