I was playing around with a simple 2D pedulum consisting of 4 bodies.
I included one non-holonomic constraint on one of the rotational speeds.
I also wanted to calculate the forces acting on the support of the pendulum, using
KM.auxiliary_eqs.
Now the ‚virtual speeds‘ needed to calculate the forces appeared in forces, calculated as usual forces = KM.forcing_full. Also their time derivatives appeared
When I removed the speed constraint, the virtual forces and their time derivatives disappeared.
As the support by definition does not move, I simply set these virtual speed equal to zero.
Is this correct, or how can I handle this situation properly?
Thanks for any help!!
