Original report (archived issue) by Steve Peters (Bitbucket: Steven Peters, GitHub: scpeters).


To support getting the force/torque wrench applied at a joint, it would be convenient to return a wrench as a unified data structure. It could also be helpful to report linear and angular velocity as twist.

In dart these are expressed by a Vector6d. An alternative is a struct with two named Vector3d values, which is more obvious to interpret but perhaps less efficient for screw algebra.
