Member Function Documentation

◆ ActivateActuators()

void chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::ActivateActuators ( bool  val)
inline

Activate actuators.

By default, any actuator read in from the osim file is inactive (zero excitation). If enabled, all actuators will receive a constant excitation function with value 1. The excitation function for an actuator can be specified, after parsing, using SetExcitationFunction().

◆ GetReport()

const Report& chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::GetReport ( ) const
inline

Get the report for this parser.

This contains the lists of bodies, joints, and forces that were created from the input osim file.

◆ Parse() [1/2]

void chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::Parse ( ChSystem system,
const std::string &  filename 
)

Parse the specified OpenSim input file and create the model in the given system.

Parameters
[in]systemcontaining Chrono system
[in]filenameOpenSim input file name

◆ Parse() [2/2]

ChSystem * chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::Parse ( const std::string &  filename,
ChContactMethod  contact_method = ChContactMethod::NSC 
)

Parse the specified OpenSim input file and create the model in a new system.

Note that the created system is not deleted in the parser's destructor; rather, ownership is transferred to the caller.

Parameters
[in]filenameOpenSim input file name
[in]contact_methodcontact method

◆ SetCollisionFamilies()

void chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::SetCollisionFamilies ( int  family_1 = 1,
int  family_2 = 2 
)

Set collision families (to disable collision between a body and its parent).

Note: automaticaly enables collision.

Parameters
[in]family_1first collision family
[in]family_2second collision family

◆ SetContactFrictionCoefficient()

void chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::SetContactFrictionCoefficient ( float  friction_coefficient)
inline

Set coefficient of friction.

The default value is 0.6

◆ SetContactMaterialCoefficients()

void chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::SetContactMaterialCoefficients ( float  kn,
float  gn,
float  kt,
float  gt 
)

Set contact material coefficients.

These values are used directly to compute contact forces (if the containing system is so configured and if the SMC contact method is being used). The default values are: kn=2e5, gn=40, kt=2e5, gt=20

Parameters
[in]knnormal contact stiffness
[in]gnnormal contact damping
[in]kttangential contact stiffness
[in]gttangential contact damping

◆ SetContactMaterialProperties()

void chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::SetContactMaterialProperties ( float  young_modulus,
float  poisson_ratio 
)

Set contact material properties.

These values are used to calculate contact material coefficients (if the containing system is so configured and if the SMC contact method is being used). The default values are: Y = 2e5 and nu = 0.3

Parameters
[in]young_modulusYoung's modulus of elasticity
[in]poisson_ratioPoisson ratio

◆ SetContactRestitutionCoefficient()

void chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::SetContactRestitutionCoefficient ( float  restitution_coefficient)
inline

Set coefficient of restitution.

The default value is 0.4

◆ SetExcitationFunction()

void chrono::parsers::ChParserOpenSim::SetExcitationFunction ( const std::string &  name,
std::shared_ptr< ChFunction modulation 
)

Set excitation function for the actuator with the specified name.

This method should be invoked only after parsing an osim file.
