Incorporate spoke adjustment into matrix equation #36

Closed dashdotrobot closed 5 years ago

dashdotrobot commented 5 years ago

The mode matrix equation is now:

(K_rim + K_spk)*d = F_ext + A_adj*a

where a is a vector of spoke length adjustments, in units of meters. A positive adjustment means shortening the spoke (and nominally tightening the spoke).

The spoke adjustment matrix can be calculated using the method ModeMatrix.A_adj().
