Member Function Documentation

◆ AddBody()

void ChSystemDistributed::AddBody ( std::shared_ptr< ChBody > newbody )

overridevirtual

Add a body to the system.

This function should be called on all ranks. AddBody classifies the body and decides whether or not to keep it on each rank.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChSystemMulticore.

◆ AddBodyAllRanks()

void ChSystemDistributed::AddBodyAllRanks ( std::shared_ptr< ChBody > body )

Add a body to the system on all ranks, regardless of its location.

This body should not have associated collision geometry. NOTE: A body crossing multiple sub-domains will not be correctly advanced.

◆ AddBodyExchange()

void ChSystemDistributed::AddBodyExchange	(	std::shared_ptr< ChBody >	newbody,
		distributed::COMM_STATUS	status
	)

protected

Internal function for adding a body from communication.

Should not be called by the user.

◆ CheckIds()

void ChSystemDistributed::CheckIds ( )

Checks for consistency in IDs in the system.

Should only be used for debugging.

◆ GetBodyContactForce()

real3 ChSystemDistributed::GetBodyContactForce ( uint gid ) const

overridevirtual

Get the contact force experienced by the body with given global ID.

Must be called on all system ranks; return value valid only on 'master' rank.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChSystemMulticoreSMC.

◆ GetBodyContactForces()

std::vector< std::pair< uint, ChVector<> > > ChSystemDistributed::GetBodyContactForces ( const std::vector< uint > & gids ) const

Get contact forces experienced by any of the bodies specified through their global IDs.

Must be called on all system ranks; return value valid only on 'master' rank. Returns a vector of pairs of global IDs and corresponding contact forces.

◆ GetMasterRank()

int chrono::ChSystemDistributed::GetMasterRank ( ) const

inline

Return the rank (in the system's intra-communicator) of the process marked as 'master'.

Certain functions return information only on this process.

◆ NewBody()

ChBody * ChSystemDistributed::NewBody ( )

overridevirtual

Create a new body, consistent with the contact method and collision model used by this system.

The returned body is not added to the system.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChSystemMulticore.

◆ NewBodyAuxRef()

ChBodyAuxRef * ChSystemDistributed::NewBodyAuxRef ( )

overridevirtual

Create a new body with non-centroidal reference frame, consistent with the contact method and collision model used by this system.

The returned body is not added to the system.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChSystemMulticore.

◆ RemoveBody()

void ChSystemDistributed::RemoveBody ( std::shared_ptr< ChBody > body )

overridevirtual

Remove a body from the simulation based on the ID of the body (not based on object comparison between ChBodys).

Should be called on all ranks to ensure that the correct body is found and removed where it exists.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChSystem.

◆ RemoveBodyExchange()

void ChSystemDistributed::RemoveBodyExchange ( int index )

Internal call for removing deactivating a body.

Should not be called by the user.

◆ SanityCheck()

void ChSystemDistributed::SanityCheck ( )

Checks structures added by chrono_distributed.

Prints ERROR messages at inconsistencies.

◆ SetBodyStates()

void ChSystemDistributed::SetBodyStates	(	const std::vector< uint > &	gids,
		const std::vector< BodyState > &	states
	)

Updates the states of all bodies listed in the gids parameter Must be called on all system ranks and inputs must be complete and valid on each rank.

NOTE: The change in position should be small in comparison to the ghost layer of this system. NOTE: The new states will reach the data_manager at the beginning of the next time step.

◆ SetMaster()

void chrono::ChSystemDistributed::SetMaster ( )

inline

Set the calling process as 'master' in the intra-communicator used by this system.

For efficiency, certain functions report information only on this single rank. This saves a potentially unnecessary scatter operation (if needed, such an operation should be performed in user code). By default this is rank 0 in the system's intra-communicator.

◆ SetSphereShapes()

void ChSystemDistributed::SetSphereShapes	(	const std::vector< uint > &	gids,
		const std::vector< int > &	shape_idx,
		const std::vector< double > &	radii
	)

Updates each sphere shape associated with bodies with global ids gids.

shape_idx identifies the index of the shape within its body's collisionsystem model. Must be called on all system ranks and inputs must be complete and valid on each rank.

◆ SetTriangleShapes()

void ChSystemDistributed::SetTriangleShapes	(	const std::vector< uint > &	gids,
		const std::vector< int > &	shape_idx,
		const std::vector< TriData > &	new_shapes
	)

Updates triangle shapes associated with bodies identified by gids.

shape_idx identifies the index of the shape within its body's collisionsystem model. Must be called on all system ranks and inputs must be complete and valid on each rank.
