Re: [sympy] Re: 3D pendulum and equations of motion of multi-body systems (KanesMethod)

2016-08-18 Thread James Milam
To kind of expand on what Jason's saying a 3D pendulum can be completely defined using just (x, y, z) and you can deduce the angles from these coordinates. In your case the pendulum only has two degrees of freedom (x and y for instance and z be calculated because the pendulum has a fixed

Hi all, I am not seeing an up to date version of the docs when I visit docs.sympy.org. I have tried the /latest and /dev versions an neither seems to work. The docs appear to not have been updated in awhile either as the change I'm looking at was merged on April 2nd in PR #10878

These statements are found in the Kane's method and Lagrange's method docs and are seemingly contradictory "In mechanics we are assuming there are 5 basic sets of equations needed to describe a system." "In mechanics we are assuming there are 3 basic sets of equations needed to describe a
