Description

Definition of the world frame for Chrono::Vehicle simulations.

The default is an ISO frame (Z up, X forward, Y to the left) and vehicle are assumed to be modeled in such a reference frame. However, this class allows a Chrono::Vehicle model to be simulated in a scene specified in a different reference frame (for example, a Y up frame). The world frame is uniquely defined through a rotation matrix (the rotation required to align the ISO frame with the desired world frame). To change the world frame definition from the default ISO convention, the desired world frame must be set before any Chrono::Vehicle library call.

◆ SetYUP()

void chrono::vehicle::ChWorldFrame::SetYUP ( )

static

Set the world frame as a (right-handed) frame with Y up.

This corresponds to a rotation of 90 degrees about the X axis.
