Member Function Documentation

◆ SetFixed()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyz::SetFixed ( bool  fixed)
overridevirtual

Fix/release this node.

If fixed, its state variables are not changed by the solver.

Implements chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAbase.

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDDD, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDD, and chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzD.

◆ VariablesFbIncrementMq()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyz::VariablesFbIncrementMq ( )
overridevirtual

Add M*q (masses multiplied current 'qb') to Fb, ex.

if qb is initialized with v_old using VariablesQbLoadSpeed, this method can be used in timestepping schemes that do: M*v_new = M*v_old + forces*dt

Reimplemented from chrono::ChNodeBase.

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDDD, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDD, and chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzD.

◆ VariablesFbLoadForces()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyz::VariablesFbLoadForces ( double  factor = 1)
overridevirtual

Add the current forces (applied to node) into the encapsulated ChVariables.

Include in the 'fb' part: qf+=forces*factor

Reimplemented from chrono::ChNodeBase.

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDDD, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDD, and chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzD.

◆ VariablesQbIncrementPosition()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyz::VariablesQbIncrementPosition ( double  step)
overridevirtual

Increment node positions by the 'qb' part of the ChVariables, multiplied by a 'step' factor.

pos+=qb*step If qb is a speed, this behaves like a single step of 1-st order numerical integration (Eulero integration).

Reimplemented from chrono::ChNodeBase.

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDDD, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDD, and chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzD.

◆ VariablesQbSetSpeed()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyz::VariablesQbSetSpeed ( double  step = 0)
overridevirtual

Fetch the item speed (ex.

linear velocity, in xyz nodes) from the 'qb' part of the ChVariables and sets it as the current item speed. If 'step' is not 0, also should compute the approximate acceleration of the item using backward differences, that is accel=(new_speed-old_speed)/step. Mostly used after the solver provided the solution in ChVariables.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChNodeBase.

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDDD, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDD, and chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzD.
