Re: How do I edit a post here?

If you have taken the time to set up an account with that name, I seriously doubt you would listen to any advice given here.

Re: Where are the tutorial videos?

Most of the learning center is free. Certainly enough of it is free to get you started. I would recommend going through that as it's the best organized and most up to date.

If that's too structured, try the official YouTube channel. Just don't waste too much time with random people's videos from 7 years ago. So much changes and the quality is usually questionable.

new Featurescript: Statics Solver

I needed to calculate the force on a cable for a robot, so I decided to do it the hard way, but writing a FS to do it.

Link: Statics Solver

Pick your force locations (where they touch the object, flip the direction as desired. Outputs curves that are named and scaled to the force magnitude..

Can only do up to 3 unknowns, due to math.

Need to add checks for planar, and also make it work for any plane, currently hard-coded for YZ
