chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZBody Class Referenceabstract

Description

Base class for loads representing a concentrated force acting between a ChNodeXYZ and a ChBody Users should inherit from this and implement a custom ComputeForce().

Note: there are already some predefined examples, ie. children classes with common concrete implementations, such as ChLoadNodeXYZBodySpring ChLoadNodeXYZBodyBushing etc.; take inspiration from those example to inherit your own load if they are not enough.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChLoadNodeXYZBody()

chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZBody::ChLoadNodeXYZBody ( std::shared_ptr< ChNodeXYZ node,
std::shared_ptr< ChBody body 
)
Parameters
nodenode
bodybody

Member Function Documentation

◆ ComputeForce()

virtual void chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZBody::ComputeForce ( const ChFrameMoving<> &  rel_AB,
ChVector3d loc_force 
)
pure virtual

Compute the force on the nodeA, in local coord system, given relative position of nodeA respect to B.

The local coordinate system is that specified with SetApplicationFrameB (the auxiliary frame attached to body).

Implemented in chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZBodyBushing, and chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZBodySpring.

◆ ComputeQ()

void chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZBody::ComputeQ ( ChState state_x,
ChStateDelta state_w 
)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Compute Q, the generalized load.

It calls ComputeBodyBodyForceTorque, so in children classes you do not need to implement it. Called automatically at each Update().

Parameters
state_xstate position to evaluate Q
state_wstate speed to evaluate Q

Implements chrono::ChLoadBase.

◆ GetForce()

ChVector3d chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZBody::GetForce ( ) const
inline

Return the last computed value of the applied force.

Used primarily for diagnostics, this function returns the force on the node expressed in absolute coordinates.
