chrono::ChLoader Class Referenceabstract
Description
Loads applied to a single ChLoadable object.
Loads can be forces, torques, pressures, thermal loads, etc. depending on the loaded ChLoadable object. For example, if the load references a ChBody the load is a wrench (force+torque), for a tetrahedron FE it is a force, etc. Objects of this class must be capable of computing the generalized load Q from the load F.
