| | LDD Model of GG-1 Electric Locomotive - Advice Requested

I decided to model the very well known GG1 locomotive as a model available from LEGO Factory. I took some liberties with the design and color scheme in order to accomodate what can be done in LDD. Even so, I think the result is inherently (...) (18 years ago, 7-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX) !

(...) I just realised something... do you want a general inverse or a specific inverse? Some inversions are simple eg. a pure rotation can be inverted by taking its transpose and reflections are their own inverses. Tim (18 years ago, 7-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)

(...) The inverse of <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> is itself. To compute the inverse of a general 3x3 matrix (essentially what you need to do) is rather complicated. You could do it in a macro using Gaussian elimination [1]. Tim [1] (URL) (18 years ago, 7-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)
