Description

Template for an anti-roll subsystem using an RSD.

Base class for an anti-roll bar template modeled two arms connected with a revolute spring-damper. Derived from ChAntirollBar, but still and abstract base class.

The anti-roll bar subsystem is modeled with respect to a right-handed frame, with X pointing towards the front, Y to the left, and Z up (ISO standard). The subsystem reference frame is assumed to be always aligned with that of the vehicle. When attached to a chassis, only an offset is provided.

Parameters
[in]namename of the subsystem

Member Function Documentation

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChAntirollBarRSD::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChChassis chassis,
std::shared_ptr< ChSuspension suspension,
const ChVector<> &  location 
)
overridevirtual

Initialize this anti-roll bar subsystem.

The anti-roll bar subsystem is initialized by attaching it to the specified chassis at the given location (with respect to and expressed in the reference frame of the chassis) and associating it with the specified suspension subsystem (assumed to be independent). It is assumed that the anti-roll bar reference frame is always aligned with the chassis reference frame.

Parameters
[in]chassishandle to the chassis body
[in]suspensionassociated suspension subsystem
[in]locationlocation relative to the chassis frame

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChAntirollBar.

◆ InitializeInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChAntirollBarRSD::InitializeInertiaProperties ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Initialize subsystem inertia properties.

Derived classes must override this function and set the subsystem mass (m_mass) and, if constant, the subsystem COM frame and its inertia tensor. This function is called during initialization of the vehicle system.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChPart.

◆ UpdateInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChAntirollBarRSD::UpdateInertiaProperties ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Update subsystem inertia properties.

Derived classes must override this function and set the global subsystem transform (m_xform) and, unless constant, the subsystem COM frame (m_com) and its inertia tensor (m_inertia). Calculate the current inertia properties and global frame of this subsystem. This function is called every time the state of the vehicle system is advanced in time.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChPart.
