Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ SetAutomaticGravity()

void chrono::fea::ChMesh::SetAutomaticGravity	(	bool	mg,
		int	num_points = `1`

If true, as by default, this mesh will add automatically a gravity load to all contained elements (that support gravity) using the G value from the ChSystem.

So this saves you from adding many ChLoad<ChLoaderGravity> to all elements.

void chrono::fea::ChMesh::Update	(	double	m_time,

	)

overridevirtual

Update time dependent data, for all elements.

◆ VariablesFbIncrementMq()

void chrono::fea::ChMesh::VariablesFbIncrementMq ( )

overridevirtual

Adds M*q (masses multiplied current 'qb') to Fb, ex.

if qb is initialized with v_old using VariablesQbLoadSpeed, this method can be used in timestepping schemes that do: M*v_new = M*v_old + forces*dt.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ VariablesQbIncrementPosition()

void chrono::fea::ChMesh::VariablesQbIncrementPosition ( double step )

overridevirtual

Increment item positions by the 'qb' part of the ChVariables, multiplied by a 'step' factor.

    pos += qb * step

If qb is a speed, this behaves like a single step of 1-st order numerical integration (Euler integration).

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ VariablesQbLoadSpeed()

void chrono::fea::ChMesh::VariablesQbLoadSpeed ( )

overridevirtual

Initialize the 'qb' part of the ChVariables with the current value of speeds.

Note: since 'qb' is the unknown, this function seems unnecessary, unless used before VariablesFbIncrementMq().

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.

◆ VariablesQbSetSpeed()

void chrono::fea::ChMesh::VariablesQbSetSpeed ( double step = 0 )

overridevirtual

Fetches the item speed (ex.

linear and angular vel.in rigid bodies) from the 'qb' part of the ChVariables and sets it as the current item speed. If 'step' is not 0, also should compute the approximate acceleration of the item using backward differences, that is accel=(new_speed-old_speed)/step. Mostly used after the solver provided the solution in ChVariables.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChPhysicsItem.
