Member Function Documentation

◆ getToeAngle()

virtual double chrono::vehicle::hmmwv::HMMWV_DoubleWishboneFront::getToeAngle ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Return the toe angle, in radians (default: 0).

A positive value indicates toe-in, a negative value indicates toe-out.

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChDoubleWishbone.

◆ UseTierodBodies()

virtual bool chrono::vehicle::hmmwv::HMMWV_DoubleWishboneFront::UseTierodBodies ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Indicate whether or not tirod bodies are modelled (default: false).

If false, tierods are modelled using distance constraints. If true, rigid tierod bodies are created (in which case a derived class must provide the mass and inertia) and connected either with kinematic joints or bushings (depending on whether or not bushing data is defined).

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChDoubleWishbone.
