type_constraint_tuple &  jacobian_tuple_N,
type_constraint_tuple &  jacobian_tuple_U,
type_constraint_tuple &  jacobian_tuple_V,
bool  second 
)
overridevirtual

Compute the jacobian(s) part(s) for this contactable item.

For example, if the contactable is a ChBody, this should update the corresponding 1x6 jacobian.

◆ ComputeNF()

void chrono::fea::ChContactTriangleXYZ::ComputeNF ( const double  U,
const double  V,
ChVectorDynamic<> &  Qi,
double &  detJ,
const ChVectorDynamic<> &  F,

ChVectorDynamic<> *  state_w 
)
overridevirtual

Evaluate N'*F , where N is some type of shape function evaluated at U,V coordinates of the surface, each ranging in 0..+1 (as IsTriangleIntegrationNeeded() is true) F is a load, N'*F is the resulting generalized load Returns also det[J] with J=[dx/du,..], that might be useful in gauss quadrature.

Parameters
Uparametric coordinate in surface
Vparametric coordinate in surface
QiReturn result of Q = N'*F here
detJReturn det[J] here
FInput F vector, size is =n. field coords.
state_xif != 0, update state (pos. part) to this, then evaluate Q
state_wif != 0, update state (speed part) to this, then evaluate Q

Implements chrono::ChLoadableUV.

ChVector chrono::fea::ChContactTriangleXYZ::ComputeNormal ( const double  U,
const double  V 
)
overridevirtual

Gets the normal to the surface at the parametric coordinate U,V.

Each coordinate ranging in -1..+1.

overridevirtual

Apply the given force at the given point and load the generalized force array.

The force and its application point are specified in the global frame. Each object must set the entries in Q corresponding to its variables, starting at the specified offset. If needed, the object states must be extracted from the provided state position.

ChVector chrono::fea::ChContactTriangleXYZ::GetContactPointSpeed ( const ChVector<> &  abs_point)
overridevirtual

Get the absolute speed of point abs_point if attached to the surface.
