◆ ChLoadBodyBody()

chrono::ChLoadBodyBody::ChLoadBodyBody ( std::shared_ptr< ChBody bodyA,
std::shared_ptr< ChBody bodyB,
const ChFrame<> &  abs_application 
)

Member Function Documentation

◆ ComputeBodyBodyForceTorque()

virtual void chrono::ChLoadBodyBody::ComputeBodyBodyForceTorque ( const ChFrameMoving<> &  rel_AB,
ChVector<> &  loc_force,
ChVector<> &  loc_torque 
)
pure virtual

Compute the force between the two bodies, in local reference loc_application_B, given rel_AB, i.e.

the position and speed of loc_application_A respect to loc_application_B. Force is assumed applied to loc_application_B of body B, and its opposite reaction to A. Inherited classes MUST IMPLEMENT THIS.

Implemented in chrono::ChLoadBodyBodyBushingGeneric, chrono::ChLoadBodyBodyBushingMate, chrono::ChLoadBodyBodyBushingPlastic, and chrono::ChLoadBodyBodyBushingSpherical.

◆ ComputeQ()

void chrono::ChLoadBodyBody::ComputeQ ( ChState state_x,
ChStateDelta state_w 
)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Compute Q, the generalized load.

It calls ComputeBodyBodyForceTorque, so in children classes you do not need to implement it. Called automatically at each Update().

Parameters
state_xstate position to evaluate Q
state_wstate speed to evaluate Q

Implements chrono::ChLoadBase.
