Member Function Documentation

◆ SetMaterialSurface()

void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeRigid::SetMaterialSurface ( const std::shared_ptr< ChMaterialSurface > &  mat)

Set the material properties for terrain.

The type of material must be consistent with the contact method (SMC or NSC) specified at construction. These parameters characterize the material for the container and (if applicable) the granular material. Tire contact material is received from the rig node.

◆ SetProxyContactRadius()

void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeRigid::SetProxyContactRadius ( double  radius)
inline

Set proxy contact radius (default: 0.01).

When using a rigid tire mesh, this is a "thickness" for the collision mesh (a non-zero value can improve robustness of the collision detection algorithm). When using a flexible tire, this is the radius of the proxy spheres attached to each FEA mesh node.

◆ UseMaterialProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeRigid::UseMaterialProperties ( bool  flag)

Specify whether contact coefficients are based on material properties (default: true).

Note that this setting is only relevant when using the SMC method.
