Parameters
[in]namename of the subsystem

Member Function Documentation

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandBushing::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]chassischassis body
[in]locationlocation relative to the chassis frame
[in]rotationorientation relative to the chassis frame

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBand.

double  Krot_dof,
double  Krot_other,
double  Dlin,
double  Drot_dof,
double  Drot_other 
)
protected

Set bushing stiffness and damping information.

Parameters
Klinlinear stiffness in all directions (default: 7e7 N/m)
Krot_dofrotational stifness in the DOF direction (default: 500 N.m/rad)
Krot_otherrotatioal stiffness in other two directions (default: 1e5 N.m/rad)
Dlinlinear damping in all directions (defaalt: 0.05 * 7e7 N/m.s)
Drot_dofrotational damping in the DOF direction (default: 0.05 * 500 N.m/rad.s)
