Abstract

An approach is suggested to simulate a motion for a group of connected objects. This approach is based on representation of motion for some object as its coordinate system motion. Tree-type structures are constructed to describe relations between coordinate systems associated with the objects incorporated into the group. The tree structure specifies some order on the set of coordinate systems to simulate interconnections between them. An algorithm is presented to generate tree structures needed to describe relations for coordinate systems. An application of the tree structures are demonstrated to model two types of interconnections between coordinate systems.
