◆ evaluate()

double chrono::vehicle::LinearSpringForce::evaluate ( double  time,
double  rest_length,
double  length,
double  vel,
const ChLinkTSDA link 
)
overridevirtual

Calculate and return the general spring-damper force at the specified configuration.

If the link has internal ODE states, the current states can be accessed with link->GetStates().

Parameters

rest_lengthundeformed length
lengthcurrent length
velcurrent velocity (positive when extending)
linkassociated TSDA link

Implements chrono::ChLinkTSDA::ForceFunctor.
