Description

Base class for joints implemented using the "lock formulation".

Derived classes provide models for revolute, prismatic, spherical, etc. Note that certain kinematic joints (e.g., Universal) cannot be modeled using the lock formulation. Joints of this type can optionally specify 'limits' over upper-lower motions of their respective degrees of freedom, using the ChLinkLimit objects.

ChLinkLimit & chrono::ChLinkLock::GetLimit_X ( )

Accessors for limits on free degrees of freedom.

These functions provide access to initialize and set parameters for link limits on different free degrees of freedom of the joint. Note that they use "lazy initialization"; an internal link limit object is created on the first invocation of the corresponding accessor function.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ IntLoadConstraint_Ct()

void chrono::ChLinkLock::IntLoadConstraint_Ct	(	const unsigned int	off,
		ChVectorDynamic<> &	Qc,
		const double	c
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

Takes the term Ct, scale and adds to Qc at given offset: Qc += c*Ct.

Parameters

off	offset in Qc residual
Qc	result: the Qc residual, Qc += c*Ct
c	a scaling factor

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ IntLoadResidual_CqL()

void chrono::ChLinkLock::IntLoadResidual_CqL	(	const unsigned int	off_L,
		ChVectorDynamic<> &	R,
		const ChVectorDynamic<> &	L,
		const double	c
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

Takes the term Cq'*L, scale and adds to R at given offset: R += c*Cq'*L.

Parameters

off_L	offset in L multipliers
R	result: the R residual, R += cCq'L
L	the L vector
c	a scaling factor

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ IntStateGatherReactions()

void chrono::ChLinkLock::IntStateGatherReactions	(	const unsigned int	off_L,
		ChVectorDynamic<> &	L
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

From item's reaction forces to global reaction vector.

Parameters

off_L	offset in L vector
L	L vector of reaction forces

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ IntStateScatterReactions()

void chrono::ChLinkLock::IntStateScatterReactions	(	const unsigned int	off_L,
		const ChVectorDynamic<> &	L
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

From global reaction vector to item's reaction forces.

Parameters

off_L	offset in L vector
L	L vector of reaction forces

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ IntToDescriptor()

void chrono::ChLinkLock::IntToDescriptor	(	const unsigned int	off_v,
		const ChStateDelta &	v,
		const ChVectorDynamic<> &	R,
		const unsigned int	off_L,
		const ChVectorDynamic<> &	L,
		const ChVectorDynamic<> &	Qc
	)

overrideprotectedvirtual

Prepare variables and constraints to accommodate a solution:

Parameters

off_v	offset for v and R
v	vector that will be copied into the q 'unknowns' term of the variables (for warm starting)
R	vector that will be copied into the F 'force' term of the variables
off_L	offset for L and Qc
L	vector that will be copied into the L 'lagrangian ' term of the constraints (for warm starting)
Qc	vector that will be copied into the Qb 'constraint' term of the constraints

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ Update()

void chrono::ChLinkLock::Update	(	double	mytime,
		bool	update_assets = `true`
	)

overridevirtual

Full update.

Fills-in all the matrices of the link, and does all required calculations by calling specific Update functions in sequence:

    UpdateTime;
    UpdateRelMarkerCoords;
    UpdateState;
    UpdateCqw
    UpdateForces;

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLinkMarkers.

◆ UpdateCqw()

void chrono::ChLinkLock::UpdateCqw ( )

Updates Cqw1 and Cqw2 given updated Cq1 and Cq2, i.e.

computes the jacobians with 'Wl' rotational coordinates knowing the jacobians for body rotations in quaternion coordinates.
