Member Function Documentation

◆ GetSteelLayerThickness()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::GetSteelLayerThickness ( ) const

protectedpure virtual

Get thickness of the inner steel layer.

The rubber layer thicknesses are obtained from the total web thickness.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::m113::M113_TrackShoeBandANCF, and chrono::vehicle::TrackShoeBandANCF.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::Initialize	(	std::shared_ptr< ChBodyAuxRef >	chassis,
		const ChVector<> &	location,
		const ChQuaternion<> &	rotation
	)

overridevirtual

Initialize this track shoe subsystem.

The track shoe is created within the specified system and initialized at the specified location and orientation (expressed in the global frame). This version initializes the bodies of a CB rigid-link track shoe such that the center of the track shoe subsystem is at the specified location and all bodies have the specified orientation.

Parameters

[in]	chassis	chassis body
[in]	location	location relative to the chassis frame
[in]	rotation	orientation relative to the chassis frame

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBand.
