Hello @Muhao-Chen, it looks like you indicated that the JOSS paper was on the JOSS_paper branch, but there is no such branch in the repository. The paper looks to be on the main branch, just in the JOSS_paper directory.

Also, while we are getting started, can you please explain in detail the differences between this submission and the previous submission "TsgFEM: Tensegrity Finite Element Method"? I noticed that some of the files in the repository for the current position seem copied from TsgFEM.

@editorialbot set main as branch

Done! branch is now main

Hello @Muhao-Chen, it looks like you indicated that the JOSS paper was on the JOSS_paper branch, but there is no such branch in the repository. The paper looks to be on the main branch, just in the JOSS_paper directory.

@kyleniemeyer Thanks for helping us. I have fixed the problem. The pdf looks good now.

Also, while we are getting started, can you please explain in detail the differences between this submission and the previous submission "TsgFEM: Tensegrity Finite Element Method"? I noticed that some of the files in the repository for the current position seem copied from TsgFEM.

Yes, the TsgFEM facilitates static and dynamic analyses via the finite element method (FEM) for tensegrity systems simulations. On the other hand, OriTsgFEA provides a comprehensive platform for both equilibrium and form-finding studies of combined origami and tensegrity systems. Some of the .m files (i.e., generate the connectivity matrices, the material definition of tensegrity bars and strings) are copied from TsgFEM; these source codes are appropriately cited.

[kyleniemeyer]

@Muhao-Chen thanks - can you quantify how many of the source code files are copied from TsgFEM? I want to make sure that this new submission is sufficiently substantial on its own.

[Muhao-Chen]

@kyleniemeyer Thanks for your question. There are about 12/35 (TsgFEM/OriTsgEFA). Both are independent software packages for different analysis purposes. The shared files are more like generating pictures, videos, material libraries, etc. Could you please let me know if this is ok? Many thanks!

[Muhao-Chen]

@kyleniemeyer, May I know if you have difficulties finding reviewers? The reviewers of TsgFEM are very professional and an excellent option to invite: HaoZeke, Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman, and likask. Thanks very much!

[kyleniemeyer]

@editorialbot invite @diehlpk as editor

Hi @diehlpk, since you edited the previous related submission (https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.03390), could you edit this submission as well? Thanks!

[editorialbot]
