I built a model containing a rubber band I’d like to model with LSynth and
LDraw:
So I want to stretch the rubber band between the 1x1 round plates, but it
also needs to be pinched together and pushed down slightly between the
inverted slopes. I’ve tried to simulate these constraints with a group of
bushings, like this:
0 SYNTH BEGIN RUBBER_BAND 4
1 7 -30 0 0 0 -1 0 -0 0 1 -1 0 -0 4265c.dat
0 SYNTH OUTSIDE
1 7 0 8 -10 0 -1 0 -0 0 1 -1 0 -0 4265c.dat
0 SYNTH INSIDE
1 7 30 0 0 0 -1 0 -0 0 1 -1 0 -0 4265c.dat
0 SYNTH OUTSIDE
1 7 0 8 10 0 -1 0 -0 0 1 -1 0 -0 4265c.dat
0 SYNTH INSIDE
0 SYNTH END

However, it doesn’t quite work:
Should I stick with coplanar constraints, or is there a way to do this? An
LDraw file of the relevant area is available
here.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
There is a new LSynth in the works. You can see the updates on sourceforge.
Willy has been doing a great job testing, and driving change based on his
experience.
Don Heyse has been taking care of the code, and hammering out the bad
synthesis behavior, and adding features as suggested by Willy.
I took all the LEGO part specifics out of the source code and put them in an
MPD file that is read by LSynth on startup.
Unfortunatly none of these changes involving non-planar rubber band synthesis
support.

| (...) That's OK. Thank you for the explanation of LSynth's current development. Reading the relevant part descriptions from an external file sounds like a great idea. That should make it easier to add support for new parts in the future. I wish (...) (17 years ago, 8-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
