Member Function Documentation

◆ CreateMeshProxy()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeChrono::CreateMeshProxy ( unsigned int i )

inlineprotectedvirtual

Create the i-th proxy mesh.

Use information in the m_geometry struct (collision geometry expressed in local frame).

◆ CreateRigidProxy()

virtual void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeChrono::CreateRigidProxy ( unsigned int i )

protectedpure virtual

Create the i-th proxy rigid.

Use information in the m_geometry struct (collision geometry expressed in local frame).

◆ OnAdvance()

void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeChrono::OnAdvance ( double step_size )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Advance simulation.

This function is called after a synchronization to allow the node to advance its state by the specified time step. A node is allowed to take as many internal integration steps as required, but no inter-node communication should occur.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNode.

◆ OnInitialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeChrono::OnInitialize ( unsigned int num_objects )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Initialize this Chrono terrain node.

Construct the terrain system and the proxy bodies.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNode.

Reimplemented in chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeGranularOMP, chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeGranularGPU, chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeSCM, chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeRigid, and chrono::vehicle::ChVehicleCosimTerrainNodeGranularSPH.
