Description
Base class for a deformable tire model.
A deformable tire is modeled with nodes that carry their own state, either as an FEA mesh (see ChFEATire) or as a multibody model (see ChMBTire). Interaction with terrain is through a contact surface over the tire nodes.

Member Function Documentation
◆ GetAddedInertia()
|
inlinefinaloverrideprotectedvirtual |
Get the inertia added to the associated spindle body.
Certain tires (e.g., those FEA-based) have their own physical representation and hence do not add mass and inertia to the spindle body. All others increment the spindle body moments of inertia by the amount reported by this function.
Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTire.
◆ GetAddedMass()
|
inlinefinaloverrideprotectedvirtual |
Get the mass added to the associated spindle body.
Certain tires (e.g., those FEA-based) have their own physical representation and hence do not add mass and inertia to the spindle body. All others increment the spindle body mass by the amount reported by this function.
Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTire.
◆ GetContactMaterial()
|
inline |
Get the tire contact material.
Note that this is not set until after tire initialization.
◆ GetContactSurface()
|
pure virtual |
Get the tire contact surface.
If contact is not enabled or the tire is not initialized, an empty shared pointer is returned.
Implemented in chrono::vehicle::ChFEATire.
◆ GetSurfaceMesh()
|
pure virtual |
Get a triangle surface mesh over the tire nodes.
This surface is used for interaction with terrain models that require a triangulated tire surface (e.g., CRM terrain). If the tire contact surface is a triangle mesh, it is returned. Otherwise (node cloud contact surface or contact disabled), a triangle surface mesh is created on the first call; this surface is not used for collision. The face normals point outward from the tire (as assumed by the INWARD BCE pattern for CRM terrain). An empty shared pointer is returned if the tire is not initialized.
Implemented in chrono::vehicle::ChFEATire.
◆ GetTireForce()
|
finaloverrideprotectedvirtual |
Get the tire force and moment.
A ChDeformableTire always returns zero forces and moments since tire forces are implicitly applied to the associated wheel through the tire-wheel connections.
Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTire.
◆ Initialize()
|
overrideprotectedvirtual |
Initialize this tire by associating it to the specified wheel.
A derived class must call this base class implementation first.
Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTire.
Reimplemented in chrono::vehicle::ChFEATire.
◆ ReadCheckpoint()
|
overridevirtual |
Initialize this tire from the given checkpoint file.
The tire must have been initialized and added to a system built the same way as the one that wrote the checkpoint.
Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTire.
◆ ReportTireForceLocal()
|
overridevirtual |
Get the tire force and moment expressed in the tire frame.
Currently NOT IMPLEMENTED.
Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTire.
◆ WriteCheckpoint()
|
overridevirtual |
Checkpoint the state of this tire (its mesh node states and the internal state of its elements).
The checkpoint is of type ChCheckpoint::Type::COMPONENT.
Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTire.
