chrono::ChFunction_Setpoint Class Reference

Description

Function that returns Y from an externally-provided value, as a ZOH (zero order hold) block.

This means that the Y value does NOT change if you call Get_y(double x) with different values of x, unless you keep the setpoint Y updated via multiple calls to SetSetpoint(), for example calling SetSetpoint() at each timestep in the simulation loop. Also first two derivatives (speed, accel.) will persist until next SetSetpoint() call. Function of this class are most often functions of time.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Get_y_dx()

virtual double chrono::ChFunction_Setpoint::Get_y_dx ( double  x) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Return the dy/dx derivative of the function, at position x.

Note that inherited classes may also avoid overriding this method, because this base method already provide a general-purpose numerical differentiation to get dy/dx only from the Get_y() function. (however, if the analytical derivative is known, it may better to implement a custom method).

Reimplemented from chrono::ChFunction.

◆ Get_y_dxdx()

virtual double chrono::ChFunction_Setpoint::Get_y_dxdx ( double  x) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Return the ddy/dxdx double derivative of the function, at position x.

Note that inherited classes may also avoid overriding this method, because this base method already provide a general-purpose numerical differentiation to get ddy/dxdx only from the Get_y() function. (however, if the analytical derivative is known, it may be better to implement a custom method).

Reimplemented from chrono::ChFunction.

◆ SetSetpoint()

void chrono::ChFunction_Setpoint::SetSetpoint ( double  setpoint,
double  x 
)
virtual

Set the setpoint, and compute its derivatives (speed, acceleration) automatically by backward differentiation (only if x is called at increasing small steps).

All values will persist indefinitely until next call.

◆ SetSetpointAndDerivatives()

virtual void chrono::ChFunction_Setpoint::SetSetpointAndDerivatives ( double  setpoint,
double  setpoint_dx,
double  setpoint_dxdx 
)
inlinevirtual

Set the setpoint, and also its derivatives.

All values will persist indefinitely until next call.
