Member Function Documentation
◆ GetVisualModelFrame()
|
inlineoverridevirtual |
Get the reference frame (expressed in and relative to the absolute frame) of the visual model.
For a ChLink, the default implementation returns the link coordinate frame 1.
Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.
Reimplemented in chrono::ChLinkRSDA, chrono::ChLinkMarkers, and chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric.
◆ IsActive()
|
inlineoverridevirtual |
Return true if the link is currently active and thereofre included into the system solver.
This method cumulates the effect of various flags (so a link may be inactive either because disabled, or broken, or not valid)
Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.
◆ IsRequiringWaking()
|
inlinevirtual |
Tells if this link requires that the connected ChBody objects must be waken if they are sleeping.
By default =true, i.e. always keep awaken, but child classes might return false for optimizing sleeping, in case no time-dependant.
◆ IsValid()
|
inline |
Tells if the link data is currently valid.
(i.e. pointers to other items are correct)
