TsgFEM: Tensegrity Finite Element Method
Shuo Ma, Muhao Chen, Robert E. Skelton
Abstract
The name of this software, TsgFEM, is suggested to be pronounced as Tenseg FEM. The purpose of this package is to facilitate the analysis of statics and dynamics of any tensegrity structures. The software allows one to perform topology design, statics, and dynamic FEM simulation of any tensegrity systems. This software allows one to do the following studies but is not limited to the listed items.
