mcdp { ''' This models a XYZ arm where X and Y are in parallel and equal and they hold Z. ''' provides workspace [m] 'Dimension of workspace (assuming X=Y=Z for simplicity)' provides payload_mass [g] 'Weight of payload to be moved around' provides precision [1/mm] 'Precision (higher is better) (assuming X=Y=Z)' provides velocity [mm/s] 'Velocity (assuming X=Y=Z)' provides force [N] 'Velocity (assuming X=Y=Z)' provides acceleration [mm/s²] # for a robot arm we could be more precise by constraining acceleration, jerk, etc; # and other properties. For a 3D printer it probably doesn't matter. # let's say # Consider Z first, because Z is attached to X and Y z_joint = instance `Joint workspace provided by z_joint provided workspace precision provided by z_joint provided precision payload_mass provided by z_joint provided payload_mass force provided by z_joint provided force velocity provided by z_joint provided velocity acceleration provided by z_joint provided acceleration mass_total = provided payload_mass + mass required by z_joint x_joint = instance `Joint workspace provided by x_joint provided workspace precision provided by x_joint provided precision payload_mass provided by x_joint mass_total force provided by x_joint provided force velocity provided by x_joint provided velocity acceleration provided by x_joint provided acceleration y_joint = instance `Joint workspace provided by y_joint provided workspace precision provided by y_joint provided precision payload_mass provided by y_joint mass_total force provided by y_joint provided force velocity provided by y_joint provided velocity acceleration provided by y_joint provided acceleration requires budget = budget required by * requires electric_power = electric_power required by * requires mass = mass required by * }
