Member Function Documentation

◆ GetLocation()

virtual const ChVector chrono::vehicle::ChBalancer::GetLocation ( PointId  which)
protectedpure virtual

Return the location of the specified hardpoint.

The returned location must be expressed in the subchassis reference frame.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::fmtv::MTV_Balancer.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChBalancer::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChBodyAuxRef chassis,
const ChVector<> &  location 
)
overridevirtual

Initialize this subchassis subsystem.

The subchassis is initialized by attaching it to the specified chassis body at the specified location (with respect to and expressed in the reference frame of the chassis). It is assumed that the subchassis reference frame is always aligned with the chassis reference frame.

Parameters
[in]chassishandle to the chassis body
[in]locationlocation relative to the chassis frame

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChSubchassis.
