template<class Ta, class Tb>
virtual void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::ContIntFromDescriptor ( const unsigned int  off_L,
ChVectorDynamic<> &  L 
)
inlinevirtual
Parameters
off_Loffset in L
Lthe L vector

◆ ContIntLoadConstraint_C()

template<class Ta, class Tb>
virtual void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::ContIntLoadConstraint_C ( const unsigned int  off_L,
ChVectorDynamic<> &  Qc,
const double  c,
bool  do_clamp,
double  recovery_clamp 
)
inlinevirtual
Parameters
off_Loffset in Qc residual
Qcresult: the Qc residual, Qc += c*C
ca scaling factor
do_clampapply clamping to c*C?
recovery_clampvalue for min/max clamping of c*C

◆ ContIntLoadResidual_CqL()

template<class Ta, class Tb>
virtual void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::ContIntLoadResidual_CqL ( const unsigned int  off_L,
ChVectorDynamic<> &  R,
const ChVectorDynamic<> &  L,
const double  c 
)
inlinevirtual
Parameters
off_Loffset in L multipliers
Rresult: the R residual, R += c*Cq'*L
Lthe L vector
ca scaling factor

◆ ContIntToDescriptor()

template<class Ta, class Tb>
virtual void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::ContIntToDescriptor ( const unsigned int  off_L,
const ChVectorDynamic<> &  L,
const ChVectorDynamic<> &  Qc 
)
inlinevirtual
Parameters
off_Loffset in L, Qc
Lthe L vector
Qcthe Qc vector

◆ GetContactCoords()

template<class Ta, class Tb>
ChCoordsys chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::GetContactCoords ( ) const
inline

Get the contact coordinate system, expressed in absolute frame.

This represents the 'main' reference of the link: reaction forces are expressed in this coordinate system. Its origin is point P2. (It is the coordinate system of the contact plane and normal)

◆ GetContactPlane()

template<class Ta, class Tb>
const ChMatrix33& chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::GetContactPlane ( ) const
inline

Returns the pointer to a contained 3x3 matrix representing the UV and normal directions of the contact.

In detail, the X versor (the 1s column of the matrix) represents the direction of the contact normal.

◆ Reset_cinfo()

template<class Ta, class Tb>
void chrono::ChContactTuple< Ta, Tb >::Reset_cinfo ( Ta *  obj_A,
Tb *  obj_B,
const ChCollisionInfo cinfo 
)
inline

Reinitialize geometric information for this contact for reuse.

Parameters
obj_Acontactable object A
obj_Bcontactable object B
cinfodata for the contact pair
