Description
Class for forces in link joints of type ChLinkLock.
Force is applied to specific degrees of freedom of the ChLinkLock through ChLinkLock::Force functions. The resulting force (or torque) is computed as the sum of actuator, spring force and a damping force. Each term consists of a constant part (set through SetActuatorForce, SetSpringCoefficient, SetDampingCoefficient) and an optional modulation part (set through SetActuatorModulation, SetSpringModulation, SetDamperModulation). The resulting actuation force, the spring and damping coefficient are given as the constant part multiplied by the value of the modulation function at the current time. The final force is obtained as the sum of all the contributions: F(x, x_dt, t) = F_act_const * F_act_modulation - K_const * K_modulation * x - R_const * R_modulation * x_dt
