Member Function Documentation

◆ ExportComponentList()

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

overridevirtual

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.

◆ Initialize()

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

virtual

Initialize this track wheel subsystem.

The track wheel subsystem is initialized by attaching it to the specified carrier body at the specified location (with respect to and expressed in the reference frame of the chassis). It is assumed that the track wheel subsystem reference frame is always aligned with the chassis reference frame. A derived track wheel subsystem template class must extend this default implementation and specify contact geometry for the track wheel.

Parameters

[in]	chassis	associated chassis subsystem
[in]	carrier	carrier body
[in]	location	location relative to the chassis frame
[in]	track	containing track assembly

Reimplemented in chrono::vehicle::ChDoubleTrackWheel, and chrono::vehicle::ChSingleTrackWheel.

◆ InitializeInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackWheel::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::ChTrackWheel::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.
