chrono::ChVariablesBody Class Referenceabstract

Description

Specialized class for representing a 6-DOF item for a system, that is a 3D rigid body, with mass matrix and associate variables (a 6 element vector, ex.speed) This is an abstract class, specialized for example in ChVariablesBodyOwnMass and ChVariablesBodySharedMass.
