I’m working on simulating the Assur Triad using an iterative algorithm. Click here for an older post about the problem I’m trying to solve. The algorithm essentially treats two of the three “legs” of the triad as a 4-bar mechanism and simulates it as one of the legs…
Continue readingSomeone told me that what I’m having trouble with is called an “Assur Group” and some research led to me think that its more specifically called an “Assur triad”. The mechanism above is what gives me trouble. Each of the connectors B, D, F, can be simulated and…
Continue readingIn the image above, there is a complexity that cannot be handled by the Linkage simulator. Although it might not look complicated, the lack of kinematic chain simulation in the software makes this impossible to simulate. The Linkage software, as I have written about on numerous occasions, uses…
Continue readingI have no idea why I put “elements” in “quotes” (or why the word “quotes” is in quotes) but it seemed to sort of make sense. I am still trying to figure out the best way to add the curve feature to the Linkage program. Since a curve,…
Continue readingI have not had much inclination to write on my blog recently. I don’t thinks it’s because of a lack of possible content, but rather because of a lack of motivation. I did post that I released a new version of the Linkage program but that was a…
Continue readingI’ve been a bit lazy about updates. I updated the Linkage software to version 3.10.5 a few weeks or months ago. It’s no longer a beta program. This new version has a method of simulating links that are positioned by three other links. the algorithm to do this…
