This is a short post, since I was busy this week with my last exam and preparing for my vacation next few weeks. This also means that I won’t make posts for the next few weeks. As for now I am currently focused partially on making the Body class better integrated within the mechanics, while awaiting reviews on some documentation PRs.

Issues and PRs I’m working on:

  • PR, which adds a four bar linkage example using the joints framework.
  • This issue about creating a figure to explain the joint parameters is being solved in this PR
  • The PR, which would reduce Point.acc dependency on computed velocities.
  • Raised issue about the inconsistency in storing velocity and acceleration data in the Point class.
  • My comment on how we could make the Body class more analogous to a ReferenceFrame.

Some other opened issues an PRs, which I have open, but am not currently working on:

  • PR I reviewed
  • Issue about image readability in the new dark theme.
  • Issue about using a recursive calculation of the velocity in the Point.vel method
  • Draft PR which adds a check on the velocity and acceleration theories as mentioned in the old PR
    • Needs a decision as mentioned in this comment
    • An issue I’m participating in, which is about making the KanesMethod compatible with the Body class.
