Skeleton

A **skeleton** is an invisible part of a 3D model, used for the purpose of animation. A skeleton consists of several bones, connected at joints. A model with a different skeleton from another model cannot use that other model's animations; this is referred to as "having an incompatible skeleton". Sometimes skeleton incompatibility stems from "bone order", or the order in which bones are defined in the model file.
