chrono::fea::ChLoadXYZROTnodeBody Class Referenceabstract

Description

Base class for loads representing a concentrated wrench (force & torque) acting between a ChNodeFEAxyzrot and a ChBody The force & torque is applied between two local references attached to the two nodes, loc_application_A and loc_application_B, not necessarily centered in the respective nodes.

Users should inherit from this and implement a custom ComputeForceTorque(), this is enough to have the load working. Note: there are already some predefined examples, ie. children classes with common concrete implementations, such as ChLoadXYZROTnodeBodyBushingSpherical ChLoadXYZROTnodeBodyBushingMate, etc.; take inspiration from those example to inherit your own load if they are not enough.

pure virtual

Compute the wrench (force & torque) between the two nodes, expressed in local frame of loc_application_B, given rel_AB, i.e.

the position and speed of loc_application_A respect to loc_application_B, expressed in frame of loc_application_B. Force is assumed applied to loc_application_B, and its opposite reaction to A. Inherited classes MUST IMPLEMENT THIS.

ChStateDelta state_w 
)

Called automatically at each Update().
