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

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[Table[MakeTranslations[a,i],{i,3}]]

${Type \to Description, Size \to {1, 3}, {1, 1} \to {Type \to Vector, Size \to 1, 1 \to {Coordinates \to {1, 0, 0}, Triad \to a}}, {1, 2} \to {Type \to Vector, Size \to 1, 1 \to {Coordinates \to {0, 1, 0}, Triad \to a}}, {1, 3} \to {Type \to Vector, Size \to 1, 1 \to {Coordinates \to {0, 0, 1}, Triad \to a}}}$
