Member Function Documentation

◆ IsStiff()

virtual bool chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZForceAbs::IsStiff ( )
inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

Report if this is load is stiff.

If so, InjectKRMMatrices will provide the Jacobians of the load.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZForce.

◆ SetForceBase()

void chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZForceAbs::SetForceBase ( const ChVector3d force)

Set the applied force vector (expressed in absolute coordinates).

The force is assumed constant, unless a scaling time function is provided.

◆ SetModulationFunction()

void chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZForceAbs::SetModulationFunction ( std::shared_ptr< ChFunction modulation)
inline

Set modulation function.

This is a function of time which (optionally) modulates the specified applied force. By default the modulation is a constant function, always returning a value of 1.

◆ Update()

void chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZForceAbs::Update ( double  time)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Update, called at least at each time step.

  • It recomputes the generalized load Q vector(s)
  • It recomputes the Jacobian matrices K,R,M in case of stiff load Q and Jacobians assumed evaluated at the current state. Jacobians are automatically allocated if needed.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLoadNodeXYZForce.
