◆ ChRigidChassis()

chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::ChRigidChassis ( const std::string &  name,
bool  fixed = false 
)

Construct a vehicle subsystem with the specified name.

Member Function Documentation

◆ ExportComponentList()

void chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::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.

◆ GetMeshFilename()

const std::string& chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::GetMeshFilename ( ) const
inline

Get the name of the Wavefront file with chassis visualization mesh.

An empty string is returned if no mesh was specified.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::Initialize ( ChSystem system,
const ChCoordsys<> &  chassisPos,
double  chassisFwdVel,
int  collision_family = 0 
)
overridevirtual

Initialize the chassis at the specified global position and orientation.

Parameters
[in]systemcontaining system
[in]chassisPosabsolute chassis position
[in]chassisFwdVelinitial chassis forward velocity
[in]collision_familychassis collision family

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChChassis.

◆ SetCollide()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChRigidChassis::SetCollide ( bool  state)
inlineoverridevirtual

Enable/disable contact for the chassis.

This function controls contact of the chassis with all other collision shapes in the simulation.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChChassis.
