Description

This is an "interface" from 3D to a powertrain/powertrain that is modeled via 1D elements such as ChShaft, ChShaftsMotor, ChShaftsGearbox, ChShaftsClutch, etc.

This is the most avanced type of "motor" because using many of those 1D elements one can build very complex drivelines, for example use this ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline to represent a drive+reducer, hence taking into account of the inertia of the motor shaft (as in many cases of robotic actuators, that has electric drives+reducers.) At the same time, using 1D elements avoids the unnecessary complication of using complete 3D parts to make fast spindles, 3D gears etc.

The 1D driveline is "interfaced" to the two connected threedimensional parts using two "inner" 1D shafts, each rotating as the connected 3D part; it is up to the user to build the driveline that connects those two shafts.

Most often the driveline is a graph starting at inner shaft 2 (consider it to be the truss for holding the motor drive, also the support for reducers if any) and ending at inner shaft 1 (consider it to be the output, i.e. the slow-rotation spindle). Note that it is up to the user to create a driveline where all torques are balanced action/reactions: in this case, GetMotorTorque() = GetInnerTorque1() = - GetInnerTorque2(). This is not true for example, for an unbalanced driveline where one of the two inner shafts is connected to some external ChShaft.

	)

overridevirtual

Computes Dt = x_new - x, using vectors at specified offsets.

By default, when DOF = DOF_w, it does just the difference of two state vectors, but in some cases (ex when using quaternions for rotations) it could do more complex stuff, and children classes might overload it.

Parameters

off_x	offset in x state vector
x_new	state vector, final position part
x	state vector, initial position part
off_v	offset in v state vector
Dv	state vector, increment. Here gets the result

		const ChStateDelta &	Dv
	)

overridevirtual

Computes x_new = x + Dt , using vectors at specified offsets.

By default, when DOF = DOF_w, it does just the sum, but in some cases (ex when using quaternions for rotations) it could do more complex stuff, and children classes might overload it.

Parameters

off_x	offset in x state vector

off_v	offset in v state vector

R	vector copied into the F 'force' term of the variables
off_L	offset for L and Qc

◆ SetSystem()

virtual void chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline::SetSystem ( ChSystem * m_system )

inlineoverridevirtual

Set the pointer to the parent ChSystem().

Also add to new collision system / remove from old collision system.

◆ VariablesFbIncrementMq()

void chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline::VariablesFbIncrementMq ( )

overridevirtual

Adds M*q (masses multiplied current 'qb') to Fb, ex.

if qb is initialized with v_old using VariablesQbLoadSpeed, this method can be used in timestepping schemes that do: M*v_new = M*v_old + forces*dt

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ VariablesQbIncrementPosition()

void chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline::VariablesQbIncrementPosition ( double step )

overridevirtual

Increment item positions by the 'qb' part of the ChVariables, multiplied by a 'step' factor.

pos+=qb*step If qb is a speed, this behaves like a single step of 1-st order numerical integration (Eulero integration).

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ VariablesQbLoadSpeed()

void chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline::VariablesQbLoadSpeed ( )

overridevirtual

Initialize the 'qb' part of the ChVariables with the current value of speeds.

Note: since 'qb' is the unknown, this function seems unnecessary, unless used before VariablesFbIncrementMq()

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ VariablesQbSetSpeed()

void chrono::ChLinkMotorRotationDriveline::VariablesQbSetSpeed ( double step = 0 )

overridevirtual

Fetches the item speed (ex.

linear and angular vel.in rigid bodies) from the 'qb' part of the ChVariables and sets it as the current item speed. If 'step' is not 0, also should compute the approximate acceleration of the item using backward differences, that is accel=(new_speed-old_speed)/step. Mostly used after the solver provided the solution in ChVariables.
