Member Function Documentation

◆ Advance()

void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::Advance ( double  step_size)
finaloverridevirtual

Advance simulation.

This function is called after a synchronization to allow the node to advance its state by the specified time step. A node is allowed to take as many internal integration steps as required, but no inter-node communication should occur.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimBaseNode.

◆ ApplySpindleForce()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::ApplySpindleForce ( unsigned int  i,
const TerrainForce spindle_force 
)
protectedpure virtual

Apply the provided force to the i-th spindle body.

This function is called during synchronization when the force is received from the corresponding tire node.

◆ GetChassisBody()

virtual std::shared_ptr<ChBody> chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::GetChassisBody ( ) const
protectedpure virtual

Get the "chassis" body.

Only used is a drawbar-pull rig is attached.

◆ GetNumSpindles()

virtual int chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::GetNumSpindles ( ) const
protectedpure virtual

Get the number of spindles/wheels defined by the underlying MBS.

A co-simulation must have a matching number of TIRE nodes.

◆ GetSpindleLoad()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::GetSpindleLoad ( unsigned int  i) const
protectedpure virtual

Get the load weight on the i-th wheel/tire.

Note: this must also include the mass of the tire itself.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::Initialize ( )
finaloverridevirtual

Initialize this node.

This function allows the node to initialize itself and, optionally, perform an initial data exchange with any other node.

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimBaseNode.

◆ InitializeMBS()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::InitializeMBS ( const std::vector< ChVector<>> &  tire_info,
const ChVector2<> &  terrain_size,
double  terrain_height 
)
protectedpure virtual

Initialize the underlying MBS.

Parameters
tire_infomass, radius, width for each tire
terrain_sizeterrain length x width
terrain_heightinitial terrain height

◆ OnInitializeDBPRig()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::OnInitializeDBPRig ( std::shared_ptr< ChFunction func)
protectedpure virtual

Impose spindle angular speed function.

This function is called (during initialization, after the call to InitializeMBS) only if a drawbar-pull rig is attached. A derived class must enforce the specified angular speed on all spindles and, if appropriate, disconnect any other power transmission mechanism (such as a powertrain/driveline).

◆ OnOutputData()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::OnOutputData ( int  frame)
inlineprotectedvirtual

Perform additional output at the specified frame (called from within OutputData).

For example, output mechanism-specific data for post-procesing.

◆ PostAdvance()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::PostAdvance ( )
inlineprotectedvirtual

Perform any required operations after advancing the state of the MBS.

This function is called after every integration step.

◆ PreAdvance()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::PreAdvance ( )
inlineprotectedvirtual

Perform any required operations before advancing the state of the MBS.

This function is called before every integration step.

◆ SetIntegratorType()

void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::SetIntegratorType ( ChTimestepper::Type  int_type,
ChSolver::Type  slv_type 
)

Set integrator and solver types.

For the MKL solver, use slv_type = ChSolver::Type::CUSTOM.

Parameters
int_typeintegrator type (default: HHT)
slv_typesolver type (default:: MKL)

◆ Synchronize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimWheeledMBSNode::Synchronize ( int  step_number,
double  time 
)
finaloverridevirtual

Synchronize this node.

This function is called at every co-simulation synchronization time to allow the node to exchange information with any other node.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimBaseNode.
