1 ArtiSynth Overview

1.3 Basic packages

The core code of the ArtiSynth project is divided into three main packages, each with a number of sub-packages.

1.3.1 maspack

The packages under maspack contain general computational utilities that are independent of ArtiSynth and could be used in a variety of other contexts. The main packages are:

⬇
maspack.util               // general utilities
maspack.matrix             // matrix and linear algebra
maspack.graph              // graph algorithms
maspack.fileutil           // remote file access
maspack.properties         // property implementation
maspack.spatialmotion      // 3D spatial motion and dynamics
maspack.solvers            // LCP solvers and linear solver interfaces
maspack.render             // viewer and rendering classes
maspack.geometry           // 3D geometry and meshes
maspack.collision          // collision detection
maspack.widgets            // Java swing widgets for maspack data types
maspack.apps               // stand-alone programs based only on maspack

1.3.2 artisynth.core

The packages under artisynth.core contain the core code for ArtiSynth model components and its GUI infrastructure.

⬇
artisynth.core.util        // general ArtiSynth utilities
artisynth.core.modelbase   // base classes for model components
artisynth.core.materials   // materials for springs and finite elements
artisynth.core.mechmodels  // basic mechanical models
artisynth.core.femmodels   // finite element models
artisynth.core.probes      // input and output probes
artisynth.core.workspace   // RootModel and associated components
artisynth.core.driver      // start ArtiSynth and drive the simulation
artisynth.core.gui         // graphical interface
artisynth.core.inverse     // inverse tracking controller
artisynth.core.moviemaker  // used for making movies
artisynth.core.renderables // components that are strictly visual
artisynth.core.opensim     // OpenSim model parser (under development)
artisynth.core.mfreemodels // mesh free models (experimental, not supported)

1.3.3 artisynth.demos

These packages contain demonstration models that illustrate ArtiSynth’s modeling capabilities:

⬇
artisynth.demos.mech       // mechanical model demos
artisynth.demos.fem        // demos involving finite elements
artisynth.demos.inverse    // demos involving inverse control
artisynth.demos.tutorial   // demos in this manual
