Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChRoadWheelAssembly()

chrono::vehicle::ChRoadWheelAssembly::ChRoadWheelAssembly	(	const std::string &	name,
		bool	has_shock
	)

Parameters

[in]	name	name of the subsystem
[in]	has_shock	specify whether or not the suspension has a damper

Member Function Documentation

◆ ExportComponentList()

void chrono::vehicle::ChRoadWheelAssembly::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.

Reimplemented in chrono::vehicle::ChLinearDamperRWAssembly, and chrono::vehicle::ChRotationalDamperRWAssembly.

◆ GetCarrierAngle()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::ChRoadWheelAssembly::GetCarrierAngle ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the current pitch angle of the carrier body.

This angle is measured in the x-z transversal plane, from the initial configuration, and follows the right-hand rule.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::ChLinearDamperRWAssembly, and chrono::vehicle::ChRotationalDamperRWAssembly.

◆ GetMass()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::ChRoadWheelAssembly::GetMass ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the total mass of the roadwheel assembly.

This includes the mass of the roadwheel and of the suspension mechanism.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::ChLinearDamperRWAssembly, and chrono::vehicle::ChRotationalDamperRWAssembly.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChRoadWheelAssembly::Initialize	(	std::shared_ptr< ChChassis >	chassis,
		const ChVector<> &	location,
		ChTrackAssembly *	track
	)

virtual

Initialize this suspension subsystem.

The suspension subsystem is initialized by attaching it to the specified chassis body at the specified location (with respect to and expressed in the reference frame of the chassis). It is assumed that the suspension reference frame is always centered at the location of the road wheel and aligned with the chassis reference frame. Derived classes must call this base class implementation (which only initializes the road wheel).

Parameters

[in]	chassis	associated chassis subsystem
[in]	location	location relative to the chassis frame
[in]	track	containing track assembly

Reimplemented in chrono::vehicle::ChLinearDamperRWAssembly, and chrono::vehicle::ChRotationalDamperRWAssembly.

◆ SetOutput()

void chrono::vehicle::ChRoadWheelAssembly::SetOutput ( bool state )

overridevirtual

Enable/disable output for this subsystem.

This function overrides the output setting for all components of this suspension assembly.

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChPart.
