Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChNormalDistribution()

chrono::ChNormalDistribution::ChNormalDistribution ( double  mvariance,
double  mmean = 0 
)

Create the normal distribution with assigned variance.

The mean is 0 by default, but you can offset the curve if you want by providing a mean.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetRandom()

double chrono::ChNormalDistribution::GetRandom ( )
overridevirtual

Compute a random value whose probability density is the normal distribution.

It uses the Box�Muller transform.

Implements chrono::ChDistribution.
