shipping6DOF 0.1.5

A simple package for the calculation of rotations, quaternions, and Euler angles, for planes and vectors.

shipping6DOF

shipping6DOF is a simple package that calculates translations and rotations from planes, by means of classical linear algebra.

Features

• Define planes by an origin and unitary normal axis vector.
• Define planes from 2, 3, and n co-planar (within limits) coordinate points
• Calculate rotation matrices from quaternions, axis and rotation angle, and viceversa
• Calculate displacements and rotations (Euler angles) between 2 planes by means of simple algebraic operations
• Change of basis and rotation matrices available
• The API follows a DDD approach ("Domain-Driven Design"), this means that linear algebra operations are directly implemented through overloaded abstractions and classes. No need to call numpy directly.
• (FUTURE) calculation of 6DOF motions and hydrostatic forces on ships.

Usage
