chrono::ChShaftsMotorTorque Class Reference

Description

A motor that applies a torque between two ChShaft shafts, a bit like the simplier ChShaftsTorque, with some differences, ex.

here torque can be a ChFunction. Differently from the ChLinkMotorRotationAngle and ChLinkMotorRotationSpeed, this does not enforce precise motion via constraint. Example of application:

  • mimic a PID controlled system with some feedback (that is up to you too implement)
  • force that is updated by a cosimulation
  • force from a man-in-the-loop setpoint Use SetTorqueFunction() to change to other force function (by default is no force), possibly introduce some custom ChFunction of yours that is updated at each time step.
