mechanisms.components.inertance

Inertance components: masses and inertias, with kinetic energy ½ ẏᵀ M ẏ.

Classes

Inertance(coord, inertance)

Constant inertance M on a coordinate: a scalar, one value per axis, or a matrix.

PointMass(coord, mass)

A mass m [kg] at a point coordinate; a design Param (a physical property).

RotationalInertia(rotation, inertia)

The rotational inertia of a rigid body about the origin of a frame: a 3 by 3 matrix in the frame's axes [kg·m²], or its three principal moments.
