Description

Base class for a visual model which encapsulates a set of visual shapes.

Visual models can be instantiated and shared among different Chrono physics items.

#include <ChVisualModel.h>

Public Types
typedef std::pair< std::shared_ptr< ChVisualShape >, ChFrame<> >	ShapeInstance
	A ShapeInstance is a pair of a (shared) shape and its position in the model.

Public Member Functions
void	AddShape (std::shared_ptr< ChVisualShape > shape, const ChFrame<> &frame=ChFrame<>())
	Add a visual shape with specified position within the model. More...

void	AddShapeFEA (std::shared_ptr< ChVisualShapeFEA > shapeFEA)
	Add visual shapes for an FEA mesh to this model.

unsigned int	GetNumShapes () const
	Get the number of visual shapes in the model.

const std::vector< ShapeInstance > &	GetShapeInstances () const
	Get the visual shapes in the model.

void	Erase (std::shared_ptr< ChVisualShape > shape)
	Erase the specified visual shape from this model.

virtual void	ArchiveOut (ChArchiveOut &archive_out)
	Method to allow serialization of transient data to archives.

virtual void	ArchiveIn (ChArchiveIn &archive_in)
	Method to allow deserialization of transient data from archives.
