Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChRigidChassis()

chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::ChRigidChassis	(	const std::string &	name,
		bool	fixed = `false`
	)

Construct a vehicle subsystem with the specified name.

Parameters

[in]	name	name of the subsystem
[in]	fixed	is the chassis body fixed to ground?

Member Function Documentation

◆ CreateContactMaterials()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::CreateContactMaterials ( ChContactMethod contact_method )

inlineprotectedvirtual

Load contact materials.

A derived class must implement this only if it sets m_has_collision to 'true' and should use contact materials consistent with the specified contact method.

◆ ExportComponentList()

void chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::ExportComponentList ( rapidjson::Document & jsonDocument ) const

overrideprotectedvirtual

Export this subsystem's component list to the specified JSON object.

Derived classes should override this function and first invoke the base class implementation, followed by calls to the various static Export***List functions, as appropriate.

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChPart.

◆ GetMeshFilename()

const std::string& chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::GetMeshFilename ( ) const

inline

Get the name of the Wavefront file with chassis visualization mesh.

An empty string is returned if no mesh was specified.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::Initialize	(	ChSystem *	system,
		const ChCoordsys<> &	chassisPos,
		double	chassisFwdVel,
		int	collision_family = `0`
	)

overridevirtual

Initialize the chassis at the specified global position and orientation.

Parameters

[in]	system	containing system
[in]	chassisPos	absolute chassis position
[in]	chassisFwdVel	initial chassis forward velocity
[in]	collision_family	chassis collision family

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChChassis.

◆ SetCollide()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::SetCollide ( bool state )

inlineoverridevirtual

Enable/disable contact for the chassis.

This function controls contact of the chassis with all other collision shapes in the simulation.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChChassis.
