I don't want to add confusion, but I hope you can also think about the similarity between mechanical and electrical problems. After all, it's always matter of solving differential equations, having voltage, current, and so on, instead of mechanical quantities. The good thing, from this perspective, is that you could take some inspiration from the hundreds of SPICE tools, which already provide a GUI to define electrical problems. If you transpose the analogous of a netlist into something mechanical, you maybe already have a good starting point, which also gives you compatibility to electrical problem (which I would like :P).
Just to give a rough idea, you could read: http://www.analog-europe.com/207200675 (this is just after some google search, but there are thousands of references about circuit solvers). The good thing, in my opinion, is that there is already a standard notation for netlists. Maybe you could introduce the mechanical equivalent of those :) Regards Maurizio On 23 Ott, 22:05, kstueve <kevin.stu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Have any of you heard of Erik Neumann?
