rst time I hear about that and for example, when one wants to model a rigid body in space (both its position and orientation) those are the generalized coordinates used (Think for example of a quadcopter model). Thanks, Nuno segunda-feira, 15 de Agosto de 2016 às 19:13:25 UTC+1, Jason Moore esc

ot sure if the way I'm doing things is correct, since the resulting equations of motion seem to be really large for such a simple problem. Then again, I'm not experienced with this kind of problems. Thanks in advance for all the help, Nuno -- You received this message because you are

I'm trying to get familiar with the sympy and its uses in obtaining the equations of motion of multi-body systems. In order to test things out I decided to use an example similar to a 3D pendulum where I have two masses. However the mass that is not fixed has a force and torque applied to it. S

I have created a jupyter notebook where I'm defining a multibody system in order to obtain its kinematics and dynamics. I use the KanesMethod (from sympy) in order to obtain the equations of motion of the system. However when I try to use trigsimp() on the mass matrix obtained, it seems to
