Hi, I'm right now working on the introduction of the dynamics / kinematics of arbitrary virtual machines on EMC, actually in HAL. I have already something working pretty well but I would like to have something general and then check with the developers if it fits EMC or HAL somewhere. I would provide a MultiBody C++ library that makes the generation of the dynamics / kinematics more or less straight forward.
As everything is virtual, it works not only in Real-Time but also as a Simulator. To make the simulation more realistic It would be wonderful to be able to introduce the cutting forces. I think that it would be great if "opencamlib" could be interfaced to HAL. That would make EMC a great teaching / research / design realistic platform. It would also allow EMC developers to check EMC behavior with different machines.
