◆ VariablesFbIncrementMq()

void chrono::ChMatterSPH::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::ChMatterSPH::VariablesQbIncrementPosition ( double  step)
overridevirtual

Increment body position by the 'qb' part of the ChVariablesBody, multiplied by a 'step' factor.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ VariablesQbLoadSpeed()

void chrono::ChMatterSPH::VariablesQbLoadSpeed ( )
overridevirtual

Initialize the 'qb' part of the ChVariablesBody with the current value of body speeds.

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

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ VariablesQbSetSpeed()

void chrono::ChMatterSPH::VariablesQbSetSpeed ( double  step = 0)
overridevirtual

Fetches the body speed (both linear and angular) from the 'qb' part of the ChVariablesBody (does not updates the full body&markers state) and sets it as the current body speed.

If 'step' is not 0, also computes the approximate acceleration of the body using backward differences, that is accel=(new_speed-old_speed)/step. Mostly used after the solver provided the solution in ChVariablesBody .
