Member Function Documentation

◆ ExportComponentList()

void chrono::vehicle::ChLinearDamperRWAssembly::ExportComponentList ( rapidjson::Document &  jsonDocument) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Export this subsystem's component list to the specified JSON object.

Derived classes should override this function and first invoke the base class implementation, followed by calls to the various static Export***List functions, as appropriate.

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChRoadWheelAssembly.

◆ GetCarrierAngle()

double chrono::vehicle::ChLinearDamperRWAssembly::GetCarrierAngle ( ) const
overridevirtual

Return the current pitch angle of the carrier body.

This angle is measured in the x-z transversal plane, from the initial configuration, and follows the right-hand rule.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChRoadWheelAssembly.

◆ GetLocation()

virtual const ChVector chrono::vehicle::ChLinearDamperRWAssembly::GetLocation ( PointId  which)
protectedpure virtual

Return the location of the specified hardpoint.

The returned location must be expressed in the idler subsystem reference frame.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::m113::M113_Suspension.

◆ GetMass()

double chrono::vehicle::ChLinearDamperRWAssembly::GetMass ( ) const
overridevirtual

Get the total mass of the road-wheel assembly.

This includes the mass of the road-wheel and of the suspension mechanism.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChRoadWheelAssembly.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChLinearDamperRWAssembly::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChBodyAuxRef chassis,
const ChVector<> &  location 
)
overridevirtual

Initialize this suspension subsystem.

The suspension subsystem is initialized by attaching it to the specified chassis body at the specified location (with respect to and expressed in the reference frame of the chassis). It is assumed that the suspension reference frame is always centered at the location of the road wheel and aligned with the chassis reference frame.

Parameters
[in]chassishandle to the chassis body
[in]locationlocation relative to the chassis frame
