chrono::ChLoadBodyInertia Class Reference

Description

Load for adding mass and inertia to a body.

Note that a ChBody already has a mass an inertia tensor, however for speed optimization reasons the ChBody mass is limited to zero offset of center of mass, moreover it does not generate a gyroscopical damping matrix. Therefore, you can use this load if you need:

  • an offset between the body and its center of mass
  • a gyroscopic damping matrix (and inertial stiffness matrix), ex. it may affect for advanced aeroelastic modal analysis. Note that you must use the solvers for finite elements in order to exploit this feature.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChLoadBodyInertia()

chrono::ChLoadBodyInertia::ChLoadBodyInertia ( std::shared_ptr< ChBody body,
const ChVector<> &  m_offset,
const double  m_mass,
const ChVector<> &  m_IXX = VNULL,
const ChVector<> &  m_IXY = VNULL 
)
Parameters
bodyobject to apply additional inertia to
m_offsetoffset of the center of mass, in body coordinate system
m_massadded mass [kg]
m_IXXadded diag. inertia values Ixx, Iyy, Izz (in body coordinate system, centered in body)

Member Function Documentation

◆ ComputeJacobian()

void chrono::ChLoadBodyInertia::ComputeJacobian ( ChState state_x,
ChStateDelta state_w,
ChMatrixRef  mK,
ChMatrixRef  mR,
ChMatrixRef  mM 
)
overridevirtual

For efficiency reasons, do not let the parent class do automatic differentiation to compute the R, K matrices.

Use analytic expressions instead. For example, R is the well known gyroscopic damping matrix. Also, compute the M matrix.

Parameters
state_xstate position to evaluate jacobians
state_wstate speed to evaluate jacobians
mKresult -dQ/dx
mRresult -dQ/dv
mMresult -dQ/da

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLoadCustom.

◆ ComputeQ()

void chrono::ChLoadBodyInertia::ComputeQ ( ChState state_x,
ChStateDelta state_w 
)
overridevirtual

Compute Q, the generalized load.

In this case, it computes the quadratic (centrifugal, gyroscopic) terms. Signs are negative as Q assumed at right hand side, so Q= -Fgyro -Fcentrifugal Called automatically at each Update(). The M*a term is not added: to this end one could use LoadIntLoadResidual_Mv afterward.

Parameters
state_xstate position to evaluate Q
state_wstate speed to evaluate Q

Implements chrono::ChLoadBase.
