| | | | How about, instead of specifying an entire curve, to specify the stiffness of each joint and use iterative solving to arrange the elements between endpoints? Adding constraints with other pieces would follow after that. (22 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | Erik, I think that for tube like devices, the constraints will be vectors that indicate some part of the tube needs to be at this location and at this orientation. The endpoints are like this. This constraint mechanism works well for routing wires (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) Iterative solving requires a model and a way to compute how far it is from a desired state and a way to compute how to take a tiny step toward the desired state. You loop over tiny steps, updating the model, until either X steps are taken, the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
