◆ ConstraintsFetch_react()

virtual void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::ConstraintsFetch_react ( double factor = 1 )

inlinevirtual

Fetches the reactions from the lagrangian multiplier (l_i) of encapsulated ChConstraints.

Mostly used after the solver provided the solution in ChConstraints. Also, should convert the reactions obtained from dynamical simulation, from link space to intuitive react_force and react_torque.

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChLinkDirFrame, chrono::ChLinkLock, chrono::fea::ChLinkPointFrameGeneric, chrono::fea::ChLinkPointTrifaceRot, chrono::ChAssembly, chrono::ChShaftsBodyTranslation, chrono::ChLinkMotorLinearDriveline, chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric, chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline, chrono::ChContactContainerNSC, chrono::ChShaftsMotorSpeed, chrono::ChConveyor, chrono::ChLinkRevoluteTranslational, chrono::ChShaftsMotor, chrono::ChLinkRevoluteSpherical, chrono::ChLinkDistance, chrono::ChLinkUniversal, chrono::ChLinkRevolute, chrono::ChShaftsMotorAngle, chrono::fea::ChLinkPointTriface, chrono::fea::ChLinkBeamIGAslider, chrono::fea::ChLinkPointFrame, chrono::ChShaftsPlanetary, chrono::ChShaftsGearboxAngled, chrono::fea::ChLinkPointPoint, chrono::ChShaftsGearbox, chrono::ChShaftsBody, chrono::ChShaftsGear, and chrono::ChShaftsClutch.

◆ GetAssetsFrame()

virtual ChFrame chrono::ChPhysicsItem::GetAssetsFrame ( unsigned int nclone = 0 )

inlinevirtual

Get the master coordinate system for assets that have some geometric meaning.

It could be used, for example, by a visualization system to show a 3d shape of this item. Children classes might override this (for example, for a ChBody, this will return the coordinate system of the rigid body). Optional parameter 'nclone' can be used for items that contain 'clones' (ex. lot of particles with the same visualization shape), so the corresponding coordinate frame can be returned.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChBody, chrono::ChLinkMarkers, chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric, chrono::ChIndexedParticles, and chrono::ChLinkBase.

◆ GetAssetsFrameNclones()

virtual unsigned int chrono::ChPhysicsItem::GetAssetsFrameNclones ( )

inlinevirtual

Optionally, a ChPhysicsItem can return multiple asset coordinate systems; this can be helpful if, for example, when a ChPhysicsItem contains 'clones' with the same assets (ex.

lot of particle with the same visualization shape). If so, returns Nclones >0 , the number of clones including the original. Then use GetAssetsFrame(n), n=0...Nclones-1, to access the corresponding coord.frame.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChIndexedParticles.

◆ GetCenter()

void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::GetCenter ( ChVector<> & mcenter )

virtual

Get a symbolic 'center' of the object.

By default this function returns the center of the AABB. It could be overridden by child classes, anyway it must always get a point that must be inside AABB.

◆ GetCollide()

virtual bool chrono::ChPhysicsItem::GetCollide ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Tell if the object is subject to collision.

Only for interface; child classes may override this, using internal flags.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChMatterSPH, chrono::fea::ChMatterMeshless, chrono::ChParticlesClones, chrono::ChConveyor, chrono::fea::ChMesh, and chrono::ChBody.

◆ GetDOF()

virtual int chrono::ChPhysicsItem::GetDOF ( )

◆ GetDOF_w()

virtual int chrono::ChPhysicsItem::GetDOF_w ( )

inlinevirtual

Get the number of scalar coordinates of variables derivatives (usually = DOF, but might be different than DOF, ex.

DOF=4 for quaternions, but DOF_w = 3 for its Lie algebra, ex angular velocity) Children classes might override this.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChAssembly, chrono::ChBody, chrono::fea::ChMesh, chrono::ChConveyor, and chrono::ChIndexedParticles.

◆ GetTotalAABB()

void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::GetTotalAABB	(	ChVector<> &	bbmin,
		ChVector<> &	bbmax
	)

Get the entire AABB axis-aligned bounding box of the object.

The AABB must enclose the collision models, if any. By default is infinite AABB. Should be overridden by child classes.

◆ KRMmatricesLoad()

virtual void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::KRMmatricesLoad	(	double	Kfactor,
		double	Rfactor,
		double	Mfactor
	)

inlinevirtual

Adds the current stiffness K and damping R and mass M matrices in encapsulated ChKblock item(s), if any.

The K, R, M matrices are added with scaling values Kfactor, Rfactor, Mfactor. NOTE: signs are flipped respect to the ChTimestepper dF/dx terms: K = -dF/dq, R = -dF/dv

Reimplemented in chrono::ChAssembly, chrono::fea::ChMesh, chrono::ChContactContainerSMC, and chrono::ChLoadContainer.

◆ SetNoSpeedNoAcceleration()

virtual void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::SetNoSpeedNoAcceleration ( )

inlinevirtual

Set zero speed (and zero accelerations) in state, without changing the position.

Child classes should implement this function if GetDOF() > 0. It is used by owner ChSystem for some static analysis.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChMatterSPH, chrono::fea::ChMatterMeshless, chrono::ChParticlesClones, chrono::ChShaft, chrono::ChAssembly, chrono::ChBody, and chrono::fea::ChMesh.

◆ Update() [1/2]

virtual void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::Update ( bool update_assets = true )

inlinevirtual

As above, but does not require updating of time-dependent data.

By default, calls Update(mytime) using item's current time.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChBody, chrono::ChMatterSPH, chrono::ChParticlesClones, chrono::fea::ChMatterMeshless, chrono::ChAssembly, chrono::ChLink, and chrono::ChBodyAuxRef.

◆ Update() [2/2]

void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::Update	(	double	mytime,
		bool	update_assets = `true`
	)

virtual

This is an important function, which is called by the owner ChSystem at least once per integration step.

It may update all auxiliary data of the item, such as matrices if any, etc., depending on the current coordinates. The inherited classes, for example the ChLinkMask, often implement specialized versions of this Update(time) function, because they might need to update inner states, forces, springs, etc. This base version, by default, simply updates the item's time, and update the asset tree, if any.

◆ VariablesFbIncrementMq()

virtual void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::VariablesFbIncrementMq ( )

inlinevirtual

Adds M*q (masses multiplied current 'qb') to Fb, ex.

if qb is initialized with v_old using VariablesQbLoadSpeed, this method can be used in timestepping schemes that do: M*v_new = M*v_old + forces*dt

Reimplemented in chrono::ChMatterSPH, chrono::fea::ChMatterMeshless, chrono::ChParticlesClones, chrono::ChAssembly, chrono::fea::ChMesh, chrono::ChLinkMotorLinearDriveline, chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline, chrono::ChShaft, chrono::ChShaftsMotorSpeed, chrono::ChConveyor, chrono::ChLinkMotorLinearSpeed, and chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationSpeed.

◆ VariablesQbIncrementPosition()

virtual void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::VariablesQbIncrementPosition ( double step )

inlinevirtual

Increment item positions by the 'qb' part of the ChVariables, multiplied by a 'step' factor.

pos+=qb*step If qb is a speed, this behaves like a single step of 1-st order numerical integration (Eulero integration).

Reimplemented in chrono::ChMatterSPH, chrono::fea::ChMatterMeshless, chrono::ChParticlesClones, chrono::ChAssembly, chrono::fea::ChMesh, chrono::ChLinkMotorLinearDriveline, chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline, chrono::ChShaft, and chrono::ChConveyor.

◆ VariablesQbLoadSpeed()

virtual void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::VariablesQbLoadSpeed ( )

inlinevirtual

Initialize the 'qb' part of the ChVariables with the current value of speeds.

Note: since 'qb' is the unknown, this function seems unnecessary, unless used before VariablesFbIncrementMq()

Reimplemented in chrono::ChMatterSPH, chrono::fea::ChMatterMeshless, chrono::ChParticlesClones, chrono::ChAssembly, chrono::fea::ChMesh, chrono::ChLinkMotorLinearDriveline, chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline, chrono::ChShaft, chrono::ChShaftsMotorSpeed, chrono::ChConveyor, chrono::ChLinkMotorLinearSpeed, and chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationSpeed.

◆ VariablesQbSetSpeed()

virtual void chrono::ChPhysicsItem::VariablesQbSetSpeed ( double step = 0 )

inlinevirtual

Fetches the item speed (ex.

linear and angular vel.in rigid bodies) from the 'qb' part of the ChVariables and sets it as the current item speed. If 'step' is not 0, also should compute the approximate acceleration of the item using backward differences, that is accel=(new_speed-old_speed)/step. Mostly used after the solver provided the solution in ChVariables.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChMatterSPH, chrono::fea::ChMatterMeshless, chrono::ChParticlesClones, chrono::ChAssembly, chrono::fea::ChMesh, chrono::ChLinkMotorLinearDriveline, chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline, chrono::ChShaft, chrono::ChShaftsMotorSpeed, chrono::ChConveyor, chrono::ChLinkMotorLinearSpeed, and chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationSpeed.
