Member Function Documentation

◆ GetSteelLayerThickness()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::GetSteelLayerThickness ( ) const
protectedpure virtual

Get thickness of the inner steel layer.

The rubber layer thicknesses are obtained from the total web thickness.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::m113::M113_TrackShoeBandANCF, and chrono::vehicle::TrackShoeBandANCF.

◆ GetTension()

ChVector chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::GetTension ( ) const
overridevirtual

Get track tension at this track shoe.

Return is the force due to the connections of this track shoe, expressed in the track shoe reference frame.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoe.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChBodyAuxRef chassis,
const ChVector<> &  location,
const ChQuaternion<> &  rotation 
)
overridevirtual

Initialize this track shoe subsystem.

The track shoe is created within the specified system and initialized at the specified location and orientation (expressed in the global frame). This version initializes the bodies of a CB rigid-link track shoe such that the center of the track shoe subsystem is at the specified location and all bodies have the specified orientation.

The node numbering is in ccw fashion as in the following scheme: v ^ D o--—G--—o C | | | –H--—+--—F-> u | | | A o--—E--—o B

Parameters
[in]chassischassis body
[in]locationlocation relative to the chassis frame
[in]rotationorientation relative to the chassis frame

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBand.

◆ InitializeInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::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::ChTrackShoeBandANCF::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.
