Member Function Documentation
◆ ArchiveIn()
|
overridevirtual |
Method to allow deserialization of transient data from archives.
Method to allow de serialization of transient data from archives.
Reimplemented from chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric.
◆ GetPinionFrame()
|
inline |
Get pinion shaft position and direction, in body1-relative reference.
The shaft direction is the Z axis of that frame.
◆ GetRackFrame()
|
inline |
Get rack position and direction, in body2-relative reference.
The rack direction is the X axis of that frame.
◆ SetCheckphase()
|
inline |
If true, enforce check on exact phase between gears (otherwise after many simulation steps the phasing may be affected by numerical error accumulation).
By default, it is turned off. Note that, to ensure the correct phasing during the many rotations, an algorithm will update an accumulator with total rotation values, which might be affected by loss of numerical precision after few thousands of revolutions; keep in mind this if you do real-time simulations which must run for many hours.
◆ SetPinionFrame()
|
inline |
Set pinion shaft position and direction, in body1-relative reference.
The shaft direction is the Z axis of that frame.
◆ SetRackFrame()
|
inline |
Set rack position and direction, in body2-relative reference.
The rack direction is the X axis of that frame.
◆ UpdateTime()
|
overridevirtual |
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.
