chrono::fea::ChContactNodeXYZROT Class Reference

Description

Proxy to FEA nodes with 3 xyz + 3 rot coords, to grant them the features needed for collision detection.

**Note: the ChContactNodeXYZ would be sufficient if ChNodeFEAxyz were inherited from ChNodeFEAxyzrot, but this does not happen -hopefully it will be, in future API-, so we need to implement also this ChContactNodeXYZROT as a proxy to ChNodeFEAxyzrot, sorry for code redundancy.

◆ ComputeJacobianForContactPart()

void chrono::fea::ChContactNodeXYZROT::ComputeJacobianForContactPart ( const ChVector<> &  abs_point,
ChMatrix33<> &  contact_plane,
ChVariableTupleCarrier_1vars< 6 >::type_constraint_tuple &  jacobian_tuple_N,
ChVariableTupleCarrier_1vars< 6 >::type_constraint_tuple &  jacobian_tuple_U,
ChVariableTupleCarrier_1vars< 6 >::type_constraint_tuple &  jacobian_tuple_V,
bool  second 
)
overridevirtual

Compute the jacobian(s) part(s) for this contactable item.

For example, if the contactable is a ChBody, this should update the corresponding 1x6 jacobian.

◆ ContactableIncrementState()

virtual void chrono::fea::ChContactNodeXYZROT::ContactableIncrementState ( const ChState x,
const ChStateDelta dw,
ChState x_new 
)
inlineoverridevirtual

Increment the provided state of this object by the given state-delta increment.

Compute: x_new = x + dw.

Implements chrono::ChContactable.

◆ ContactForceLoadQ()

virtual void chrono::fea::ChContactNodeXYZROT::ContactForceLoadQ ( const ChVector<> &  F,
const ChVector<> &  point,
const ChState state_x,
ChVectorDynamic<> &  Q,
int  offset 
)
inlineoverridevirtual

Apply the given force at the given point and load the generalized force array.

The force and its application point are specified in the global frame. Each object must set the entries in Q corresponding to its variables, starting at the specified offset. If needed, the object states must be extracted from the provided state position.

Implements chrono::ChContactable.

◆ ContactForceLoadResidual_F()

void chrono::fea::ChContactNodeXYZROT::ContactForceLoadResidual_F ( const ChVector<> &  F,
const ChVector<> &  abs_point,
ChVectorDynamic<> &  R 
)
overridevirtual

Apply the force, expressed in absolute reference, applied in pos, to the coordinates of the variables.

Force for example could come from a penalty model.

Implements chrono::ChContactable.

◆ GetContactPointSpeed() [1/2]

virtual ChVector chrono::fea::ChContactNodeXYZROT::GetContactPointSpeed ( const ChVector<> &  abs_point)
inlineoverridevirtual

Get the absolute speed of point abs_point if attached to the surface.

Easy in this case because there are no rotations..

Implements chrono::ChContactable.

◆ GetContactPointSpeed() [2/2]

virtual ChVector chrono::fea::ChContactNodeXYZROT::GetContactPointSpeed ( const ChVector<> &  loc_point,
const ChState state_x,
const ChStateDelta state_w 
)
inlineoverridevirtual

Get the absolute speed of a local point attached to the contactable.

The given point is assumed to be expressed in the local frame of this object. This function must use the provided states.

Implements chrono::ChContactable.

◆ GetCsysForCollisionModel()

virtual ChCoordsys chrono::fea::ChContactNodeXYZROT::GetCsysForCollisionModel ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Return the coordinate system for the associated collision model.

ChCollisionModel might call this to get the position of the contact model (when rigid) and sync it.

Implements chrono::ChContactable.
