Member Function Documentation
◆ GetIdentifier()
|
inline |
Get the unique integer identifier of this object.
Object identifiers are generated automatically in incremental order based on the order in which objects are created. These identifiers are transient and as such are not serialized. However, user code can cache the identifier of any Chrono object and use it later (e.g., to search the item in a ChAssembly).
◆ SetTag()
|
inline |
Set an object integer tag (default: -1).
Unlike the object identifier, this tag is completely under user control and not used anywhere else in Chrono. Tags are serialized and de-serialized.
