chrono::ChLoaderXYZnode Class Reference

Description

FORCE AT XYZ NODE Loader for a constant force applied at a XYZ node.

Note that an equivalent shortcut is to set directly the node's own force member data as mynode->SetForce(), but this other approach is more object-oriented (es. you can apply multiple forces at a single node, etc) Another option is to use ChLoadXYZnodeForceAbsolute

#include <ChLoadsXYZnode.h>

void SetForce (const ChVector<> &mf)
 Set the force, assumed to be constant in space and time and assumed applied at the node.
 
const ChVectorGetForce () const
 Get the applied force.

const double  V,
const double  W,
ChVectorDynamic<> &  F,
ChVectorDynamic<> *  state_x,
ChVectorDynamic<> *  state_w 
)

Children classes must provide this function that evaluates F = F(u,v,w) This will be evaluated during ComputeQ() to perform integration over the domain.

Parameters
Uparametric coordinate in volume
Vparametric coordinate in volume
Wparametric coordinate in volume
FResult F vector here, size must be = n.field coords.of loadable
state_xif != 0, update state (pos. part) to this, then evaluate F
state_wif != 0, update state (speed part) to this, then evaluate F
