Description

Class for Irrlicht visualization.

It will be managed by a ChIrrNodeAsset asset to be added among the ChBody assets. Such ChIrrNode can automatically be populated with Irrlicht meshes, each inside a ChIrrNodeProxyToAsset, that will correspond to shapes that have been added as ChVisualization assets in ChBody.

Example: (with ascii art, with --> shared pointer, ...> raw pointer)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChIrrNode()

chrono::irrlicht::ChIrrNode::ChIrrNode	(	std::weak_ptr< ChPhysicsItem >	mphysicsitem,
		irr::scene::ISceneNode *	parent,
		irr::scene::ISceneManager *	mgr,
		irr::s32	id
	)

Build a scene node for the Irrlicht Engine.

This scene node also has a pointer to a rigid body for the Chrono multibody simulation. To delete a ChIrrSceneNode node from an Irrlicht scene, use the remove() function from the Irrlicht side (it won't delete the C::E body, though), or better delete the corresponding ChIrrlichtObj asset from the C::E side, or delete the full C::E body.

Parameters

mphysicsitem	pointer to the Chrono item (es. rigid body)
parent	the parent node in Irrlicht hierarchy
mgr	the Irrlicht scene manager
id	the Irrlicht identifier

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetPhysicsItem()

std::weak_ptr<ChPhysicsItem> chrono::irrlicht::ChIrrNode::GetPhysicsItem ( )

inline

Returns reference to the pointer which references the ChPhysicsItem (ex.

a ChBody) wrapped by this scene node.

◆ SetupClones()

bool chrono::irrlicht::ChIrrNode::SetupClones ( )

This function is needed only when using the 'clones' feature, i.e.

shapes in assets define a sample that must be cloned (ex in ChParticleClones)
