There are several types of kinematics available as simulations, have a look at the simulation configs in /sim/axis/vismach/5axis.
For more specific information we would need to know more about the specific machine type you are looking for.

'xyzab' does not seem correct for the kinematic shown. I would have expected 'xyzbc' or 'xyzac'

If indeed you have a machine with a table rotary as shown in the video, then have a look at:

All I want to know is where and how to tell linuxcnc my own kinematics, offsets, links, and joints. Then how to use vismach and python files to model and simulate my custom machine.

Have a look at this thread and the documentation provided here:

Also here, for a more complex example (documentation is included in the compressed folder)
