Member Function Documentation

◆ AddContact() [1/2]

virtual void chrono::ChContactContainer::AddContact ( const ChCollisionInfo & cinfo )

pure virtual

Add a contact between two collision shapes, storing it into this container.

The collision info object is assumed to contain valid pointers to the two colliding shapes. A composite contact material is created from their material properties.

Implemented in chrono::ChContactContainerSMC, chrono::ChContactContainerNSC, chrono::ChContactContainerMulticoreSMC, and chrono::ChContactContainerMulticoreNSC.

◆ AddContact() [2/2]

virtual void chrono::ChContactContainer::AddContact	(	const ChCollisionInfo &	cinfo,
		std::shared_ptr< ChContactMaterial >	mat1,
		std::shared_ptr< ChContactMaterial >	mat2
	)

pure virtual

Add a contact between two collision shapes, storing it into this container.

A compositecontact material is created from the two given materials. In this case, the collision info object may have null pointers to collision shapes.

Implemented in chrono::ChContactContainerSMC, chrono::ChContactContainerNSC, chrono::ChContactContainerMulticoreSMC, and chrono::ChContactContainerMulticoreNSC.

◆ BeginAddContact()

virtual void chrono::ChContactContainer::BeginAddContact ( )

inlinevirtual

The collision system will call BeginAddContact() before adding all contacts (for example with AddContact() or similar).

By default it deletes all previous contacts. More efficient implementations might reuse contacts if possible.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChContactContainerSMC, chrono::ChContactContainerNSC, chrono::ChContactContainerMulticore, chrono::ChContactContainerMulticoreSMC, and chrono::ChContactContainerMulticoreNSC.

◆ RegisterAddContactCallback()

virtual void chrono::ChContactContainer::RegisterAddContactCallback ( std::shared_ptr< AddContactCallback > callback )

inlinevirtual

Specify a callback object to be used each time a contact point is added to the container.

Note that derived classes may not support this. If supported, the OnAddContact() method of the provided callback object will be called for each contact pair to allow modifying the composite material properties.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChContactContainerMulticore.

◆ SumAllContactForces()

template<class Tcont >

void chrono::ChContactContainer::SumAllContactForces	(	std::list< Tcont * > &	contactlist,
		std::unordered_map< ChContactable *, ForceTorque > &	contactforces
	)

inlineprotected

Utility function to accumulate contact forces from a specified list of contacts.

This function is templated by the contact type (assumed to be derived from ChContactTuple). Contact forces are accumulated in a map keyed by the contactable objects. Derived ChContactContainer classes can use this utility (processing their various lists of contacts) to cache information used for reporting through GetContactableForce and GetContactableTorque.

The documentation for this class was generated from the following files:
