Actually, what I would like to do is hook Axiom up to Pontiflex which is a bridge building program.
Axiom could attach a DHMatrix (4x4 matrix) at each end of every beam to model the forces at each connection. Then we could mathematically compose the forces, apply stress/strain curves for the chosen material (e.g. steel), and predict when and where the bridge would fail. There could be a BEAM class with property functions (e.g. strain(matrix,matrix) -> elongation with domains implementing the functions for different materials. In Pontiflex one can impose loads on the bridge to see it fail. Axiom could try to predict the failures. It would make a great game, educational without the pain. ah, if I only had the time... _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
