ForceDescription, MomentumDescription— Constructing a Mambo row description [maple]

This function is not described in Multibody Mechanics and Visualization by Harry Dankowicz, published by Springer Verlag UK, 2004.

Calling Sequence

ForceDescription([v1, ..., vn])

MomentumDescription([v1, ..., vn])

Parameters

v1, ..., vn: Mambo vectors

Description

The functions ForceDescription and MomentumDescription return a Mambo row description, i.e., a horizontal array of the Mambo vectors v1, ..., vn.

Examples

>Restart(): >DeclareTriads(a): >ForceDescription([seq(MakeTranslations(a,i),i=1..3)]);

$table ([(1, 2) = table ([1 = table ([Triad = a, Coordinates = [\begin{array}{r} 0 \\ 1 \\ 0 \end{array}]]), Type = Vector, Size = 1]), (1, 1) = table ([1 = table ([Triad = a, Coordinates = [\begin{array}{r} 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array}]]), Type = Vector, Size = 1]), Type = Description, (1, 3) = table ([1 = table ([Triad = a, Coordinates = [\begin{array}{r} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{array}]]), Type = Vector, Size = 1]), Size = [1, 3]])$
