chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualization Class Referenceabstract

Description

Run-time visualization support for Chrono::FSI systems.

Note that using run-time visualization for a Chrono::FSI system incurs the penalty of collecting positions of all particles every time the Render() function is invoked.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddProxyBody()

void chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualization::AddProxyBody ( std::shared_ptr< ChBody body)

Add additional proxy body to supplemental system.

Must be called before Initialize(). The provided body is set fixed to ground and it is the caller's responsibility to update the position of this body before a call to Render().

◆ AttachSystem()

void chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualization::AttachSystem ( ChSystem system)
inline

Attach a user-provided Chrono system for rendering.

By default, the FSI run-time visualization renders SPH particles and BCE markers. This function can be used to also render the mechanical system interacting with the SPH system.

◆ Render()

virtual bool chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualization::Render ( )
pure virtual

Render the current state of the Chrono::Fsi system.

This function, typically invoked from within the main simulation loop, can only be called after construction of the FSI system was completed (i.e., the system was initialized). This function querries the positions of all particles in the FSI system in order to update the positions of the proxy bodies. Returns false if the visualization window was closed.

Implemented in chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualizationVSG, and chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualizationGL.

◆ SetParticleRenderMode()

void chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualization::SetParticleRenderMode ( RenderMode  mode)
virtual

Set rendering mode for SPH particles.

Must be called before Initialize().

Reimplemented in chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualizationGL, and chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualizationVSG.

◆ SetSPHColorCallback()

void chrono::fsi::ChFsiVisualization::SetSPHColorCallback ( std::shared_ptr< ChParticleCloud::ColorCallback functor)
inline

Set a callback for dynamic coloring of SPH particles.

If none provided, SPH particles are rendered with a default color.
