Generates and manipulates the physical parameters of a bicycle.
Project description
A python program designed to produce and manipulate the basic parameters needed for the Whipple bicycle model.
Dependencies
Required
Installation
The easiest method to download and install is with pip:
$ pip install BicycleParameters
There are other options for getting the source code:
- Clone the source code with Git: git clone git://github.com/moorepants/BicycleParameters.git
- Download the source from Github.
- Dowload the source from pypi.
Once you have the source code navigate to the directory and run:
>>> python setup.py install
This will install the software into your system and you should be able to import it with:
>>> import bicycleparameters
Example Code
>>> import bicycleparameters as bp >>> import numpy as np >>> rigid = bp.Bicycle('Rigid') >>> par = rigid.parameters['Benchmark'] >>> rigid.plot_bicycle_geometry() >>> speeds = np.linspace(0., 10., num=100) >>> rigid.plot_eigenvalues_vs_speed(speeds)
Documentation
Please refer to the online documentation for more information.
