Features/rotational stiffness per length unit #419
Conversation

@angularsen - Any idea why it keeps including my previous commits? :/ |
|
Same as in #418 (comment) Rebase or cherry pick to only keep the commits you want on top of the official master branch. |
|
@angularsen - Thanks, updated the PR :-) |

You could later add RotStiff = RotStiffPerLength * Length and RotStiff = Length * RotStiffPerLength if you find a need for those.

Nevermind, I see you already added one of these below :-)

Dimensionally, this could be simplified to N/rad. I can't find much when googling RotationalStiffnessPerLength or NewtonMeterPerRadianPerMeter. Are you sure these are widely used units?
I'm a bit hesitant to add quantities or units that are not well documented, that are often very specific to certain applications.
Can you provide some links or some arguments for that someone else than you will benefit from adding this?

@angularsen - All units i need and will be adding in the future are all related to structural engineering.
This particular unit is used when you have a stiffness per length, much like the force per length.
Consider having springs on a surface edge at a certain interval. Instead of having to specify each spring separately in just rotation stiffness, you can specify them in one go using the rotation stiffness per length.
If you want more structural engineering software to use this library, you'll want these units ;)

Alright, thanks for the clarification. This absolutely sounds like a widely used domain to me so we can add these, although as discussed in #372 proposal 1, we might want to move such quantities out into a separate nugets at some point - although that design comes with some significant challenges we still need to work out
Added new rotational stiffness per length unit and conversions to units involved (rotational stiffness and length)
