Base Motion

(OP)
Hello everybody:

I have been develop a program to understand the base motion in mechanical elements,but i have some questions about my program, i'm not sure about it, because i don't know if there is a correct for 1 DOF and MDOF, i'm not sure about the result  and if are correct or if i should make some changes. Here is all my code. I know that the results could be in time or frequency domain, and it depends of the kind of analysis.
