Member Function Documentation
◆ Update()
|
overridevirtual |
This function, called by the owner ChSystem at least once per integration step, updates any auxiliary data of the link (e.g.
internal states, forces, Jacobian matrices). This base version, by default, simply updates the time.
Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.
Reimplemented in chrono::ChLinkMatePlanar, chrono::ChLinkRevoluteTranslational, chrono::ChLinkRevoluteSpherical, chrono::ChLinkLock, chrono::ChLinkMarkers, chrono::ChLinkMotorRotation, chrono::ChLinkMotorLinear, chrono::ChLinkMotor, chrono::ChLinkMateOrthogonal, chrono::ChLinkMateDistanceZ, and chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric.
◆ UpdateTime()
|
virtual |
Given new time, current body state, update time-dependent quantities in link state, for example motion laws, moving markers, etc.
Default: do nothing except setting new time.
Reimplemented in chrono::ChLinkLockBrake, chrono::ChLinkMateRackPinion, chrono::ChLinkLockLock, chrono::ChLinkLockTrajectory, chrono::ChLinkLockPulley, chrono::ChLinkLockGear, chrono::ChLinkLockClearance, and chrono::ChLinkLockPointSpline.
