chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnode Class Referenceabstract

Description

Base class for loads representing a concentrated force acting between two ChNodeXYZ.

Users should inherit from this and implement a custom ComputeForce(). Note: there are already some predefined examples, ie. children classes with common concrete implementations, such as ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnodeSpring ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnodeBushing etc.; take inspiration from those example to inherit your own load if they are not enough.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnode()

chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnode::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnode ( std::shared_ptr< ChNodeXYZ nodeA,
std::shared_ptr< ChNodeXYZ nodeB 
)
Parameters
nodeAnode A to apply load to
nodeBnode B to apply load to, as reaction

Member Function Documentation

◆ ComputeForce()

virtual void chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnode::ComputeForce ( const ChVector3d rel_pos,
const ChVector3d rel_vel,
ChVector3d abs_force 
)
pure virtual

Compute the force on the node A, in absolute coordsystem, given position and speed of node respect to the other.

Node B gets the opposite. Inherited classes MUST IMPLEMENT THIS.

Implemented in chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnodeBushing, and chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnodeSpring.

◆ ComputeQ()

void chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnode::ComputeQ ( ChState state_x,
ChStateDelta state_w 
)
overridevirtual

Compute Q, the generalized load.

Called automatically at each Update().

Parameters
state_xstate position to evaluate Q
state_wstate speed to evaluate Q

Implements chrono::ChLoadBase.

◆ Update()

void chrono::ChLoadXYZnodeXYZnode::Update ( double  time)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Update, called at least at each time step.

  • It recomputes the generalized load Q vector(s)
  • It recomputes the Jacobian matrices K,R,M in case of stiff load Q and Jacobians assumed evaluated at the current state. Jacobians are automatically allocated if needed.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLoadBase.
