ContIntFromDescriptor()

template<class Ta, class Tb>

virtual void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::ContIntFromDescriptor ( const unsigned int  off_L, ChVectorDynamic<> &  L  )

inlinevirtual

Parameters

off_L	offset in L
L	the L vector

ContIntLoadConstraint_C()

template<class Ta, class Tb>

virtual void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::ContIntLoadConstraint_C ( const unsigned int  off_L, ChVectorDynamic<> &  Qc, const double  c, bool  do_clamp, double  recovery_clamp  )

inlinevirtual

Parameters

off_L	offset in Qc residual
Qc	result: the Qc residual, Qc += c*C
c	a scaling factor
do_clamp	apply clamping to c*C?
recovery_clamp	value for min/max clamping of c*C

ContIntLoadResidual_CqL()

template<class Ta, class Tb>

virtual void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::ContIntLoadResidual_CqL ( const unsigned int  off_L, ChVectorDynamic<> &  R, const ChVectorDynamic<> &  L, const double  c  )

inlinevirtual

Parameters

off_L	offset in L multipliers
R	result: the R residual, R += c*Cq'*L
L	the L vector
c	a scaling factor

ContIntToDescriptor()

template<class Ta, class Tb>

virtual void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::ContIntToDescriptor ( const unsigned int  off_L, const ChVectorDynamic<> &  L, const ChVectorDynamic<> &  Qc  )

inlinevirtual

Parameters

off_L	offset in L, Qc
L	the L vector
Qc	the Qc vector

GetContactCoords()

template<class Ta, class Tb>

ChCoordsys chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::GetContactCoords ( ) const

inline

Get the contact coordinate system, expressed in absolute frame.

This represents the 'main' reference of the link: reaction forces are expressed in this coordinate system. Its origin is point P2. (It is the coordinate system of the contact plane and normal)

GetContactPlane()

template<class Ta, class Tb>

const ChMatrix33& chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::GetContactPlane ( ) const

inline

Returns the pointer to a contained 3x3 matrix representing the UV and normal directions of the contact.

In detail, the X versor (the 1s column of the matrix) represents the direction of the contact normal.

Reset_cinfo()

template<class Ta, class Tb>

void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::Reset_cinfo ( Ta *  obj_A, Tb *  obj_B, const ChCollisionInfo &  cinfo  )

inline

Reinitialize geometric information for this contact for reuse.

Parameters

obj_A	contactable object A
obj_B	contactable object B
cinfo	data for the contact pair
