◆ ArchiveIn()

void chrono::ChLinkMateXdistance::ArchiveIn ( ChArchiveIn marchive)
overridevirtual

Method to allow deserialization of transient data from archives.

Method to allow de serialization of transient data from archives.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric.

◆ Initialize() [1/3]

void chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric::Initialize

Initialize the generic mate, given the two bodies to be connected, the positions of the two frames to connect on the bodies (each expressed in body or abs.

coordinates).

◆ Initialize() [2/3]

void chrono::ChLinkMateXdistance::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChBodyFrame mbody1,
std::shared_ptr< ChBodyFrame mbody2,
bool  pos_are_relative,
ChVector<>  mpt1,
ChVector<>  mpt2,
ChVector<>  mdir2 
)

Specialized initialization for X distance mate, given the two bodies to be connected, and two points (each expressed in body or abs.

coordinates).

Parameters
mbody1first body to link
mbody2second body to link
pos_are_relativetrue: following pos. are relative to bodies
mpt1point slave 1 (rel. or abs.)
mpt2point master 2 (rel. or abs.)
mdir2direction of master axis 2 (rel. or abs.)

◆ Initialize() [3/3]

void chrono::ChLinkMateGeneric::Initialize

Initialization based on passing two vectors (point + dir) on the two bodies, which will represent the X axes of the two frames (Y and Z will be built from the X vector via Gram Schmidt orthonormalization).

Note: It is safer and recommended to check whether the final result of the master frame F2 is as your expectation since it could affect the output result of the joint, such as the reaction forces/torques, etc.
