chrono::ChConstraintTwoTuplesContactN< Ta, Tb > Class Template Reference

Description

template<class Ta, class Tb>
class chrono::ChConstraintTwoTuplesContactN< Ta, Tb >

This class is inherited from the ChConstraintTwoTuples, It is used to represent the normal reaction between two objects, each represented by a tuple of ChVariables objects, ONLY when also two ChConstraintTwoTuplesFrictionT objects are used to represent friction.

(If these two tangent constraint are not used, for frictionless case, please use a simple ChConstraintTwo with the CONSTRAINT_UNILATERAL mode.) Differently from an unilateral constraint, this does not enforce projection on positive constraint, since it will be up to the 'companion' ChConstraintTwoTuplesFrictionT objects to call a projection on the cone, by modifying all the three components (normal, u, v) at once. Templates Ta and Tb are of ChVariableTupleCarrier_Nvars classes

◆ Project()

template<class Ta, class Tb>
virtual void chrono::ChConstraintTwoTuplesContactN< Ta, Tb >::Project ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Project the value of a possible 'l_i' value of constraint reaction onto admissible set.

This will also modify the l_i values of the two tangential friction constraints (projection onto the friction cone, as by Anitescu-Tasora theory).

Reimplemented from chrono::ChConstraint.
