Description

Base class for a visual model which encapsulates a set of visual shapes.

Visual models can be instantiated and shared among different Chrono physics items.

#include <ChVisualModel.h>

Public Types

typedef std::pair< std::shared_ptr< ChVisualShape >, ChFrame<> > ShapeInstance
 A ShapeInstance is a pair of a (shared) shape and its position in the model.
