Description

Class for a generic finite element node in 3D space, with scalar field P.

This can be used for typical Poisson-type problems (ex. thermal, if the scalar field is temperature T, or electrostatics if the scalar field is electric potential V)

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetMass()

double chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzP::GetMass ( )

inline

Get mass of the node.

Not meaningful except for transients. Meaning of 'mass' changes depending on the problem type.

◆ SetFixed()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzP::SetFixed ( bool fixed )

overridevirtual

Fix/release this node.

If fixed, its state variables are not changed by the solver.

Implements chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAbase.

◆ SetMass()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzP::SetMass ( double mm )

inline

Set mass of the node.

Not meaningful except for transients. Meaning of 'mass' changes depending on the problem type.

◆ VariablesFbIncrementMq()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzP::VariablesFbIncrementMq ( )

overridevirtual

Add 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::ChNodeBase.

◆ VariablesFbLoadForces()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzP::VariablesFbLoadForces ( double factor = 1 )

overridevirtual

Add the current forces (applied to node) into the encapsulated ChVariables.

Include in the 'fb' part: qf+=forces*factor

Reimplemented from chrono::ChNodeBase.

◆ VariablesQbIncrementPosition()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzP::VariablesQbIncrementPosition ( double step )

overridevirtual

Increment node 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::ChNodeBase.

◆ VariablesQbSetSpeed()

void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzP::VariablesQbSetSpeed ( double step = 0 )

overridevirtual

Fetch the item speed (ex.

linear velocity, in xyz nodes) 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.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChNodeBase.
