Member Function Documentation

◆ Connect()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::Connect ( std::shared_ptr< ChTrackShoe > next )

overridevirtual

Connect this track shoe to the specified neighbor.

This function must be called only after both track shoes have been initialized.

Parameters

[in] next handle to the neighbor track shoe

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoe.

◆ GetSteelLayerThickness()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::GetSteelLayerThickness ( ) const

protectedpure virtual

Get thickness of the inner steel layer.

The rubber layer thicknesses are obtained from the total web thickness.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::m113::M113_TrackShoeBandANCF, and chrono::vehicle::TrackShoeBandANCF.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::Initialize	(	std::shared_ptr< ChBodyAuxRef >	chassis,
		const ChVector<> &	location,
		const ChQuaternion<> &	rotation
	)

overridevirtual

Initialize this track shoe subsystem.

The track shoe is created within the specified system and initialized at the specified location and orientation (expressed in the global frame). This version initializes the bodies of a CB rigid-link track shoe such that the center of the track shoe subsystem is at the specified location and all bodies have the specified orientation.

Parameters

[in]	chassis	handle to the chassis body
[in]	location	location relative to the chassis frame
[in]	rotation	orientation relative to the chassis frame

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBand.
