DoublePinTrackShoeType  topology 
)
Parameters

[in]topologytopology of the mechanism

Member Function Documentation

◆ ExportComponentList()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeDoublePin::ExportComponentList ( rapidjson::Document &  jsonDocument) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Export this subsystem's component list to the specified JSON object.

Derived classes should override this function and first invoke the base class implementation, followed by calls to the various static Export***List functions, as appropriate.

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChPart.

◆ GetPitch()

double chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeDoublePin::GetPitch ( ) const
overridevirtual

Return the pitch length of the track shoe.

This quantity must agree with the pitch of the sprocket gear.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoe.

◆ GetTension()

ChVector3d chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeDoublePin::GetTension ( ) const
overridevirtual

Get track tension at this track shoe.

Return is the force due to the connections of this track shoe, expressed in the track shoe reference frame. For a double-pin track shoe, this function returns the force between the track shoe body and connector(s).

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoe.

◆ Initialize() [1/2]

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeDoublePin::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChBodyAuxRef chassis,
const ChVector3d loc_shoe,
const ChQuaternion<> &  rot_shoe,
const ChVector3d loc_connector_L,
const ChVector3d loc_connector_R,
const ChQuaternion<> &  rot_connector 
)
protected

Initialize this two-connector double-pin track shoe system.

For a one-connector double-pin, the location of the connector body is assumed to be at the midpoint between the provided left and right locations.

Parameters
[in]chassischassis body
[in]loc_shoelocation of shoe body
[in]rot_shoeorientation of shoe body
[in]loc_connector_Llocation of left connector body
[in]loc_connector_Rlocation of right connector body
[in]rot_connectororientation of connector bodies

◆ Initialize() [2/2]

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeDoublePin::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChBodyAuxRef chassis,
const ChVector3d location,
const ChQuaternion<> &  rotation 
)
overridevirtual

Initialize this track shoe subsystem.

The track shoe is created within the specified system and initialized at the specified location and orientation (expressed in the global frame). This version initializes the bodies of a double-pin track shoe such that the center of the track shoe subsystem is at the specified location and all bodies have the specified orientation.

Parameters
[in]chassischassis body
[in]locationlocation relative to the chassis frame
[in]rotationorientation relative to the chassis frame

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeSegmented.

◆ InitializeInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeDoublePin::InitializeInertiaProperties ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Initialize subsystem inertia properties.

Derived classes must override this function and set the subsystem mass (m_mass) and, if constant, the subsystem COM frame and its inertia tensor. This function is called during initialization of the vehicle system.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChPart.

◆ UpdateInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTrackShoeDoublePin::UpdateInertiaProperties ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Update subsystem inertia properties.

Derived classes must override this function and set the global subsystem transform (m_xform) and, unless constant, the subsystem COM frame (m_com) and its inertia tensor (m_inertia). Calculate the current inertia properties and global frame of this subsystem. This function is called every time the state of the vehicle system is advanced in time.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChPart.
