Description
Base class for an idler subsystem with a fixed distance tensioner.
An idler consists of the idler wheel and a carrier body. The carrier body is connected to the chassis and the idler wheel to the carrier. A linear actuator connects the carrier body and a link body (the chassis or a supsension arm).

Member Function Documentation
◆ AddVisualizationAssets()
|
overridevirtual |
Add visualization assets for the idler subsystem.
This default implementation adds assets to the carrier body.
Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChPart.
◆ ExportComponentList()
|
overrideprotectedvirtual |
Export this subsystem's component list to the specified JSON object.
Derived classes should override this function and first invoke the base class implementation, followed by calls to the various static Export***List functions, as appropriate.
Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChIdler.
◆ GetLocation()
|
protectedpure virtual |
Return the location of the specified hardpoint.
The returned location must be expressed in the idler subsystem reference frame.
◆ Initialize()
|
overridevirtual |
Initialize this idler subsystem.
The idler subsystem is initialized by attaching it to the specified chassis at the specified location (with respect to and expressed in the reference frame of the chassis). It is assumed that the idler subsystem reference frame is always aligned with the chassis reference frame. A derived idler subsystem template class must extend this default implementation and specify contact geometry for the idler wheel.
- Parameters
-
[in] chassis associated chassis [in] location location relative to the chassis frame [in] track containing track assembly
Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChIdler.
◆ 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.
◆ RemoveVisualizationAssets()
|
overridevirtual |
Remove visualization assets for the idler subsystem.
This default implementation removes the assets from the carrier body.
Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChPart.
◆ 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.
