Detailed Description

A 13-link Watt-Baranov truss taken from Nico's thesis. Note that in this example only the kinematic constraints are considered (i.e., selfcollisions are not taken into account).

Characteristics of the problems:

Nr. of loops 6
Nr. of links 13
Nr. of joints 18
Nr. of equations (in the simplified system) 24
Nr. of variables (in the simplified system) 24

This example is treated following these steps (from the main CuikSuite folder):

  • Generate the equations: Execute
  • Solve the positional analysis problem: Execute
    • bin/cuik examples/Watt-Baranov/Watt-Baranov
  • Examine the solutions:
    • scripts/cuikplayer examples/Watt-Baranov/Watt-Baranov examples/Watt-Baranov/Watt-Baranov

Here you have the statistics about the execution (on an Intel Core i7 at 2.9 Ghz).

Nr. of empty boxes 1660
Nr. of solution boxes 76
Solver time (s) 30
