Extension of the package

[ShravanTata]

Dear fkanehiro,

First of all thank you very much developing this exciting package to transfer models between platforms. Currently I plan to extend the simtrans package to my needs. I have made a fork will be developing from there. If you are interested I would like to discuss with you about my plans for the extensions and see if we can integrate with the original package. In the repository I am unable to find any license or crediting details so that I can credit/acknowledge that it is a fork from your package.
Let me know how I can proceed.

Looking forward to your reply. Thank you

Thank you for your interest in this repository.
Honestly speaking, this repository is not maintained these days but if you have an idea to extend this software, I'm happy to discuss with you.
As for the license, I chose MIT license for this repository ( 979accb ).

Dear Fumio Kanehiro, Thank you for your reply. My goals for the repository is as follows, - A python interface to define model in the model class. This would extend the repo to not only convert between robot models but also describe and develop them. - Add more tools for computation of mesh properties. - A simple GUI to visualise the kinematic tree and be able to edit the model agnostic to the final format. Let me know what you think.

Hi fkanehiro,

I am working on the simtrans project but from the code it is very clear to me about the transformations you use to convert the joints properties before converting the formats. Do you some information regarding this? Any references or protocols you used. Thank you. Your time is much appreciated.
