Symbols in LinearSpringDamper and TorsionalSpringDamper #76

Closed ManuelZ closed 2 months ago

1) When going through the documentation of ObjectConnectorLinearSpringDamper, I noticed:

2) In ObjectConnectorTorsionalSpringDamper, the symbols for offset and velocityOffset are v_off and v_off_dot, and are used in this way:

But in the previous section of ObjectConnectorLinearSpringDamper, equivalent offset variables had names that made their meaning clearer:

Example: delta x -> x offset delta v -> v offset

But here it is: delta theta -> v offset? delta omega -> v offset dot?

Thank you for bringing this up. The description resulted from some copy-paste errors. v_offset was used according some earlier conventions, but makes no sense any more.

Will be fixed within the next update!
