&++ — Adding two MAMBO vectors or descriptions [maple]

Reference: Appendix B in Multibody Mechanics and Visualization by Harry Dankowicz, published by Springer Verlag UK, 2004.

Calling Sequence

v &++ w

&++(v,w)

Parameters

v,w: MAMBO vectors or compatible MAMBO descriptions

Description

The function &++ returns the vector sum of the two MAMBO vectors/descriptions v and w. In the case of vectors, the Size of the resulting vector equals the number of separate triads in the specifications for each of the individual vectors.

Examples

>Restart():
>DeclareTriads(a,b):
>v:=MakeTranslations(a,1):
>w:=MakeTranslations([a,1],[b,2]):
>v &++ w;

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