9.3.2 Solving for Multiple Parameters

This last example of the use of coupled systems with velocity dependence uses two geometric conditions that are satisfied in one configuration, and one condition that is satisfied in another configuration. One of the conditions is an expression involving velocity.
bar2, bar3, and bar4 are adjusted so that the X coordinate of point 3 on the center bar is 0.4 at T = 0.3, the Y velocity of point 3 is 5.5, at T = 0.1, and the Y coordinate of point 2 on the center bar is 3.7, also at T = 0.1.

Here are the current values of the coordinates that are to be specified.

This builds the CoupleSystem object.

This solves the CoupleSystem object.

This shows that the conditions are now satisfied.
