Poseoffourbarlinkage

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - 4Bar/Linkages
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 4.6, Creation date: 2019-05-12, Last change: 2025-09-14

creates a Pose struct with 3 or more poses for given fourbar linkgae parameters L1, L2, R, D/[A0;B0]

Description

The resulting struct contrains of
PS.A Pose starting point
PS.B Pose ending points
PS.GPL Pose solution list for A1 and B1, i.e. 2 Point rel. to Origin
PS.GAL Pose attachment point solution for A1 and B1
PS.CPLE Minimal Contour for Coupler that fulfills A1 and A2
PS.A0 Crank Base Point
PS.B0 Swing Base Point
PS.A1 Crank Attachment Location in Pose 1
PS.B1 Swing Attachment Location in Pose 1

Syntax

PS=Poseoffourbarlinkage(L1,L2,R,D,[ebow,segm,np,TPB])

Input Parameter

L1: Length of Swing
L2: Length of Coupler
R: Radius of Crank
D: Distance or [A0; B0]
ebow: 1== ellbow down; 2== ellbow up
segm: segment 1 or segment 2
np: number of poses; default is 3
TPB: Pose relative to A1; 'A1','B1', dx, [dx dy]; Pose of P rel. to B1; not implemented yet

Output Parameter

PS: Pose struct PS.A, OS.B, PS.A0, PS.B0
