Member Function Documentation

◆ Initialize() [1/3]

void chrono::ChLinkMateFix::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChBodyFrame mbody1,
std::shared_ptr< ChBodyFrame mbody2 
)

Specialized initialization for "fix" mate, given the two bodies to be connected, the positions of the two auxiliary frames where the two bodies are connected are both automatically initialized as the current absolute position of mbody1.

Parameters
mbody1first body to link
mbody2second body to link

◆ Initialize() [2/3]

void chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric::Initialize

Initialize the generic mate, given the two bodies to be connected, the positions of the two frames to connect on the bodies (each expressed in body or abs.

coordinates).

◆ Initialize() [3/3]

void chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric::Initialize

Initialization based on passing two vectors (point + dir) on the two bodies, which will represent the X axes of the two frames (Y and Z will be built from the X vector via Gram Schmidt orthonormalization).

Note: It is safer and recommended to check whether the final result of the master frame F2 is as your expectation since it could affect the output result of the joint, such as the reaction forces/torques, etc.
