Member Function Documentation

◆ Setup()

virtual bool chrono::ChSolver::Setup ( ChSystemDescriptor & sysd )

inlinevirtual

This function does the setup operations for the solver.

The purpose of this function is to prepare the solver for subsequent calls to the solve function. The system descriptor contains the constraints and variables. This function is called only as frequently it is determined that it is appropriate to perform the setup phase.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChDirectSolverLS, and chrono::ChIterativeSolverLS.

◆ Solve()

virtual double chrono::ChSolver::Solve ( ChSystemDescriptor & sysd )

pure virtual

Performs the solution of the problem.

This function MUST be implemented in children classes, with specialized methods such as iterative or direct solvers. The system descriptor contains the constraints and variables. Returns true if it successfully solves the problem and false otherwise.

Implemented in chrono::ChDirectSolverLS, chrono::ChIterativeSolverLS, chrono::ChSolverPMINRES, chrono::ChSolverADMM, chrono::ChSolverPSSOR, chrono::ChSolverMatlab, chrono::ChIterativeSolverMulticore, chrono::ChSolverBB, chrono::ChSolverPJacobi, chrono::ChSolverPSOR, and chrono::ChSolverAPGD.

◆ SolveRequiresMatrix()

virtual bool chrono::ChSolver::SolveRequiresMatrix ( ) const

pure virtual

Indicate whether or not the Solve() phase requires an up-to-date problem matrix.

Typically, direct solvers only need the matrix for the Setup() phase. However, iterative solvers likely require the matrix to perform the necessary matrix-vector operations.

Implemented in chrono::ChIterativeSolverLS, chrono::ChDirectSolverLS, chrono::ChIterativeSolverVI, and chrono::ChSolverMatlab.
