Member Function Documentation

◆ EnableCollision()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::EnableCollision ( int  flags)
inline

Set collision flags for the various subsystems.

By default, collision is enabled for sprocket, idler, road wheels, and track shoes.

◆ GetMass()

double chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::GetMass ( ) const

Get the rig total mass.

This is simply the mass of the track subsystem.

◆ GetRideHeight()

double chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::GetRideHeight ( ) const

Get current ride height (relative to the chassis reference frame).

This estimate uses the average of the left and right posts.

◆ GetSprocketResistiveTorque()

ChVector3d chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::GetSprocketResistiveTorque ( VehicleSide  side) const
inline

Return estimated resistive torque on the specified sprocket.

This torque is available only if monitoring of contacts for that sprocket is enabled.

◆ MonitorContacts()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::MonitorContacts ( int  flags)
inline

Set contacts to be monitored.

Contact information will be tracked for the specified subsystems.

◆ PlotOutput()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::PlotOutput ( const std::string &  out_dir,
const std::string &  out_name 
)
virtual

Plot collected data.

When called (typically at the end of the simulation loop), the collected data is saved in ASCII format in a file with the specified name (and 'txt' extension) in the specified output directory. If the Chrono::Postprocess module is available (with gnuplot support), selected plots are generated.
Collected data includes:

  • [col 1] time (s)
  • [col 2-4] sprocket location (m)
  • [col 5-7] idler location (m)
  • [col 8-10] road wheel 1 location (m)
  • [col 11-13] road wheel 2 location (m)
  • ... ...

◆ SetContactCollection()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::SetContactCollection ( bool  val)
inline

Turn on/off contact data collection.

If enabled, contact information will be collected for all monitored subsystems.

◆ SetDisplacementDelay()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::SetDisplacementDelay ( double  delay)
inline

Set time delay before applying post displacement.

Default value: 0

◆ SetDisplacementLimit()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::SetDisplacementLimit ( double  limit)
inline

Set the limits for post displacement (same for jounce and rebound).

Default value: 0

◆ SetInitialRideHeight()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::SetInitialRideHeight ( double  height)
inline

Set the initial ride height (relative to the sprocket reference frame).

If not specified, the reference height is the track assembly design configuration.

◆ SetPlotOutput()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::SetPlotOutput ( double  output_step)

Enable/disable data collection for plot generation (default: false).

See PlotOutput details on data collected.

◆ SetTrackAssemblyOutput()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::SetTrackAssemblyOutput ( bool  state)

Enable/disable output for the track assembly.

See also ChVehicle::SetOuput.

◆ WriteContacts()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackTestRig::WriteContacts ( const std::string &  filename)
inline

Write contact information to file.

If data collection was enabled and at least one subsystem is monitored, contact information is written (in CSV format) to the specified file.
