chrono::ChFunctionPositionSetpoint Class Reference

Description

A motion function p=f(s) where p(t) is an externally-provided sample, as a ZERO_ORDER_HOLD (zero order hold) of FIRST_ORDER_HOLD (first order).

You must keep the setpoint p updated via multiple calls to SetSetpoint(), for example calling SetSetpoint() at each timestep in the simulation loop. It is assumed that one will later evaluate GetPos(), GetLinVel() etc. in close vicinity of the setpoint (old setpoints are not saved), preferably ecactly at the same s, but in vicinity of s there will be extrapolation (after last s) and interpolation (before last s) according to: If in ZERO_ORDER_HOLD mode: value p will persist indefinitely until next call, derivative p_ds and p_dsds will be zero. If in FIRST_ORDER_HOLD mode: value p will interpolate linearly from the previous value, derivative p_ds will be constant, p_dsds will be zero. If in SOH mode: value p will interpolate quadratically, derivative p_ds will be linear, p_dsds will be constant. Default: uses FIRST_ORDER_HOLD mode. Use SetMode() to change it.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ eChSetpointMode

Type of setpoint interpolation/extrapolation - zero order hold, first order hold, etc.

Enumerator
ZERO_ORDER_HOLD 

Zero Order Hold: p constant, p_ds = p_dsds = 0 in neighbour of setpoint s.

FIRST_ORDER_HOLD 

First Order Hold: p linear, p_ds constant, p_dsds = 0 in neighbour of setpoint s.

SOH 

First Order Hold: p parabolic, p_ds linear, p_dsds constant in neighbour of setpoint s.

OVERRIDE 

p, p_ds, p_dsds are set via SetSetpointAndDerivatives() and will be considered constant in GetVal(s) regardless of s until next SetSetpointAndDerivatives()

Member Function Documentation

◆ SetSetpoint()

void chrono::ChFunctionPositionSetpoint::SetSetpoint ( ChVector3d  p_setpoint,
double  s 
)
virtual

Set the setpoint, and compute its derivatives (speed, acceleration) automatically by backward differentiation (only if s is called at increasing small steps, most often s is time).

Note: each time must be called with increasing s so that internally it add sthe 'new' setpoint and scrolls the previous samples for computing extrapolation/interpolation, but if called multiple times with exactly the same s value, the buffer of past samples is not scrolled: it just recompute setpoint and derivatives according to the 'updated' setpoint. If in ZERO_ORDER_HOLD mode: value p will persist indefinitely until next call, derivative p_ds and p_dsds will be zero. If in FIRST_ORDER_HOLD mode: value p will interpolate linearly from the previous value, derivative p_ds will be constant, p_dsds will be zero. If in SOH mode: value p will interpolate quadratically, derivative p_ds will be linear, p_dsds will be constant.

◆ SetSetpointAndDerivatives()

virtual void chrono::ChFunctionPositionSetpoint::SetSetpointAndDerivatives ( ChVector3d  p_setpoint,
ChVector3d  p_setpoint_ds,
ChVector3d  p_setpoint_dsds 
)
inlinevirtual

Set the setpoint, and also its derivatives.

Moreover, changes the mode to eChSetpointMode::OVERRIDE, so all values will persist indefinitely until next call, that is multiple calls to GetPos(s) GetLinVel() etc. will give same results (non interpolated) regardless of s.
