Description
Interface for objects that can be subject to volume loads, distributed along UVW coordinates of the object.
For instance finite elements like 3D bricks, ex.for gravitational loads.

Member Function Documentation
◆ ComputeNF()
|
pure virtual |
Evaluate N'*F , where N is some type of shape function evaluated at U,V,W coordinates of the volume, each ranging in [-1..+1], except if IsTetrahedronIntegrationNeeded() true or IsTrianglePrismIntegrationNeeded() true.
F is a load, N'*F is the resulting generalized load Returns also det[J] with J=[dx/du,..], that might be useful in gauss quadrature.
- Parameters
-
U parametric coordinate in volume V parametric coordinate in volume W parametric coordinate in volume Qi Return result of N'*F here, maybe with offset block_offset detJ Return det[J] here F Input F vector, size is = n.field coords. state_x if != 0, update state (pos. part) to this, then evaluate Q state_w if != 0, update state (speed part) to this, then evaluate Q

◆ GetDensity()
|
pure virtual |
This can be useful for loadable objects that has some density property, so it can be accessed by ChLoaderVolumeGravity.
Return 0 if the element/nodes does not support xyz gravity.
