This PR arises from the need to create motion patterns that are currently not replicable in Koma. An example is the figure below, taken from this paper, which shows the temporal evolution of a contraction and torsion motion in the myocardium:
This time curve cannot be replicated either with the
TimeRange
structure or thePeriodic
structure, so a new structure calledTimeCurve
has been defined, which can replicate any arbitrary temporal behaviour.In fact, the
TimeRange
andPeriodic
structures may no longer be necessary if the efficiency of theunit_time
function with aTimeCurve
is better or at least equal to the correspondingunit_time
implementations withTimeRange
andPeriodic
. Efficiency checks are still pending.Additionally, I want to add a field to account for pseudo-periodic motion patterns such as arrhythmias.
