Hi list,
On the CVS the msd, standing for mass spring damper, msd2D and msd3D externals have been added in the nusmuk directory. These 3 objects are new implementations of the pmpd object by Cyrille Henry.
They are designed to easily build physicals models based on masses and links. All the creation, the computation and the destruction are dealt in one object (depending of the number of dimensions of the space modelised : 1D, 2D or 3D) with messages.
The source code is in C++ so you need flext to compile it. Only the linux version has been tested. The examples provided often use GEM to display structure, the "repeat" object from zexy and the "any" abstraction from iemlib.
I hope you enjoy this first version of msd and excuse bugs cause it is still in development ;-), please report back any missing behavior or handling of the objects.
Bye,
Nicolas
