Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChSuspensionTestRigPushrod() [1/2]

chrono::vehicle::ChSuspensionTestRigPushrod::ChSuspensionTestRigPushrod	(	std::shared_ptr< ChWheeledVehicle >	vehicle,
		std::vector< int >	axle_index,
		double	displ_limit
	)

Construct a test rig for specified sets of axles and sterring mechanisms of a given vehicle.

Parameters

vehicle	test vehicle
axle_index	list of tested vehicle axles
displ_limit	displacement limits

◆ ChSuspensionTestRigPushrod() [2/2]

chrono::vehicle::ChSuspensionTestRigPushrod::ChSuspensionTestRigPushrod ( const std::string & spec_filename )

Construct a test rig from the given JSON specification file.

An STR specification file includes the JSON specification for the underlying vehicle, the sets of tested vehicle subsystems, and the displacement limit for the rig posts.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetRideHeight()

double chrono::vehicle::ChSuspensionTestRigPushrod::GetRideHeight ( int axle ) const

overridevirtual

Get current ride height (relative to the chassis reference frame).

This estimate uses the average of the left and right posts. Note: 'axle' is the index in the set of tested axles.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChSuspensionTestRig.
