Class Spring

Spring: An object that connect nodes, and can only exist if connecting two diferent nodes. A spring has a normal lenght state and if pulled or pushed it applies a force on the nodes it connects to restabilish it's state. Springs can also move like muscles by changing it normal lenght by a sine wave frequency.

__init__(self, a, b, amplitude=0, offset=3.14159265359, normal=None)
Creates a spring connecting nodes A and B, with an start amplitude, offset and normal lenght.

refresh(self, elast=0.5, ang=None, visc=0)
