Member Function Documentation

◆ ComputeForce()

void chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnodeSpring::ComputeForce ( const ChVector<> &  rel_pos,
const ChVector<> &  rel_vel,
ChVector<> &  abs_force 
)
overridevirtual

Compute the force on the nodeA, in absolute coordsystem, given relative position of nodeA respect to B, in absolute basis.

Compute the force on the node, in absolute coordsystem, given position of node as abs_pos.

Implements chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnode.

◆ IsStiff()

virtual bool chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnodeSpring::IsStiff ( )
inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

Inherited classes could override this and return true, if the load benefits from a jacobian when using implicit integrators.


Reimplemented from chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnode.

◆ SetStiff()

void chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnodeSpring::SetStiff ( bool  ms)
inline

Use this to enable the stiff force computation (i.e.

it enables the automated computation of the jacobian by numerical differentiation to elp the convergence of implicit integrators, but adding CPU overhead).
