- Move existing OndselSolver, GNN ML layer, and tooling into GNN/ directory for integration in later phases - Add Create addon scaffold: package.xml, Init.py - Add expression DAG with eval, symbolic diff, simplification - Add parameter table with fixed/free variable tracking - Add quaternion rotation as polynomial Expr trees - Add RigidBody entity (7 DOF: position + unit quaternion) - Add constraint classes: Coincident, DistancePointPoint, Fixed - Add Newton-Raphson solver with symbolic Jacobian + numpy lstsq - Add pre-solve passes: substitution + single-equation - Add DOF counting via Jacobian SVD rank - Add KindredSolver IKCSolver bridge for kcsolve integration - Add 82 unit tests covering all modules Registers as 'kindred' solver via kcsolve.register_solver() when loaded by Create's addon_loader.
Kindred Solver
Assembly constraint solver addon for Kindred Create. Implements the IKCSolver interface via kcsolve.register_solver().
Components
Kindred Solver (Phase 1)
Expression-based Newton-Raphson constraint solver. Pure Python, registered as a Create addon.
- Expression DAG with eval, symbolic differentiation, simplification:
kindred_solver/expr.py - Parameter table with fixed/free tracking:
kindred_solver/params.py - Quaternion rotation as polynomial Expr trees:
kindred_solver/quat.py - RigidBody entity (7 params: position + unit quaternion):
kindred_solver/entities.py - Constraint residual generators (Coincident, DistancePointPoint, Fixed):
kindred_solver/constraints.py - Newton-Raphson solver with symbolic Jacobian:
kindred_solver/newton.py - Pre-solve passes (substitution, single-equation):
kindred_solver/prepass.py - DOF counting via Jacobian rank:
kindred_solver/dof.py - KCSolve IKCSolver bridge:
kindred_solver/solver.py
GNN (future phases)
Graph neural network constraint prediction layer. OndselSolver C++ engine and ML training infrastructure. Moved to GNN/ — will be integrated in later phases.
Create Addon Integration
This repo is a git submodule at mods/solver/ in the Create repository. The addon loader discovers package.xml and executes Init.py, which registers the solver:
import kcsolve
from kindred_solver import KindredSolver
kcsolve.register_solver("kindred", KindredSolver)
Testing
python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
pip install pytest numpy
PYTHONPATH=. pytest tests/ -v
