chrono::modal::ChModalAssembly Class Reference

Description

Class for assemblies of items, for example ChBody, ChLink, ChMesh, etc.

This supports component mode synthesis (CMS) to do substructuring, hence an assembly becomes a "modal body" where many "internal" DOFs of finite elements will be reduced to few modal modes that are superimposed to the motion of a floating frame (for small deflections). Some nodes can be selected as "boundary nodes" to allow connecting this modal assembly to external joints and forces.

◆ SetFullStateWithModeOverlay()

void chrono::modal::ChModalAssembly::SetFullStateWithModeOverlay ( unsigned int  n_mode,
double  phase,

)

For displaying modes, you can use the following function.

It sets the state of this modal assembly (both boundary and internal items) using the n-th eigenvector multiplied by an "amplitude" factor * sin(phase). If you increment the phase during an animation, you will see the n-th mode oscillating on the screen. The modal shapes are animated based on the initial full state of the modal assembly. It works only in full state.

◆ SetInternalNodesUpdate()

void chrono::modal::ChModalAssembly::SetInternalNodesUpdate ( bool  flag)

Optimization flag.

Default true: when in modal reduced mode, during simulations the internal (discarded) nodes are updated anyway by superposition of modal shapes etc., for visualization or postprocessing purposes. In sake of high CPU performance, if no interest in visualization/postprocessing, one can disable this by setting to false.

◆ SetInternalStateWithModes()

void chrono::modal::ChModalAssembly::SetInternalStateWithModes ( bool  full_update)

For displaying the deformation using internal nodes, you can use the following function.

Works only if IsReducedModelEnabled(). It sets the state of the internal nodes of this modal assembly using the current state of the modal coordinates q given the computed eigenvectors: s = V * q , then it overlays s to the state snapshot x0 stored last time one called a modal reduction. This is not necessary, but useful during animations, in fact the internal nodes would be completely neglected if IsReducedModelEnabled() ; but calling this function one can update their changing positions for visualization, stress recovery, etc.

)

Write the mass (M), damping (K), damping (R), and constraint Jacobian (C) matrices at current configuration.

Assumes the rows/columns of the matrices are ordered as the ChVariable objects used in this modal assembly, first all the "boundary" variables then all the "internal" variables (or modal variables if switched to modal reduced state). The sparse matrices are saved in COO format in [path]_M.dat [path]_K.dat [path]_R.dat, and [path]_Cq.dat. By default, uses 1-based indices (as in Matlab).
