Hi All
I have been playing with the idea of building a hexapod or
Stuart platform mill with linuxcnc for the control system.
What I need help with at this stage is the design of the joints and
length of the struts. I have a few designs in my head and sketched out
on paper and am looking to see if any one knows of a program i could use
to test various geometries before I started cutting metal and building
100 small test models. This way at least I could get a rough estimate of
the expected work envelope and length of various components to do
further computer testing and modelling before committing to metal.
I have played a little in with blender but this is such a big
program with a steep learning curve geared more to animation. It has to
look right not be true in a mechanical sense. Any hints or suggestions
will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
linden
