Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChRoller()

chrono::vehicle::ChRoller::ChRoller ( const std::string &  name)
Parameters
[in]namename of the subsystem

Member Function Documentation

◆ ExportComponentList()

void chrono::vehicle::ChRoller::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.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChRoller::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChBodyAuxRef chassis,
const ChVector<> &  location,
ChTrackAssembly track 
)
virtual

Initialize this roller subsystem.

The roller subsystem is initialized by attaching it to the chassis body at the specified location (with respect to and expressed in the reference frame of the chassis). It is assumed that the roller subsystem reference frame is always aligned with the chassis reference frame. A derived roller subsystem template class must extend this default implementation and specify contact geometry for the roller wheel.

Parameters
[in]chassishandle to the chassis body
[in]locationlocation relative to the chassis frame
[in]trackcontaining track assembly

Reimplemented in chrono::vehicle::ChDoubleRoller.
