Member Function Documentation

◆ ExportComponentList()

void chrono::vehicle::ChIdler::ExportComponentList ( rapidjson::Document & jsonDocument ) const

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::ChPart.

Reimplemented in chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalIdler, and chrono::vehicle::ChDistanceIdler.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChIdler::Initialize	(	std::shared_ptr< ChChassis >	chassis,
		const ChVector<> &	location,
		ChTrackAssembly *	track
	)

virtual

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 in chrono::vehicle::ChDistanceIdler, and chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalIdler.

◆ SetOutput()

void chrono::vehicle::ChIdler::SetOutput ( bool state )

overridevirtual

Enable/disable output for this subsystem.

This function overrides the output setting for all components of this suspension assembly.

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChPart.
