chrono::ChExplicitTimestepper Class Reference

Description

Base properties for explicit solvers.

Such integrators might require solution of a nonlinear problem if constraints are added, otherwise they can use penalty in constraints and lumped masses to avoid the linear system. Diagonal lumping is off by default. Note that if you apply this

#include <ChTimestepper.h>

SetDiagonalLumpingON()

void chrono::ChExplicitTimestepper::SetDiagonalLumpingON ( double  Ck = 1000, double  Cr = 0  )

inline

Turn on the diagonal lumping.

This can achieve a large speedup because no linear system is needeed to compute the derivative (i.e. acceleration in II order systems), but not all Chintegrable might support the diagonal lumping. If lumping not supported because ChIntegrable::LoadLumpedMass_Md() not implemented, throw exception. If lumping introduces some approximation, you'll get nonzero in GetLumpingError(). Optionally paramters: the stiffness penalty for constraints, and damping penalty for constraints.
