List of all members.


Detailed Description

Two mobilities -- rotation about the x axis, followed by a rotation about the new y axis.

This mobilizer is badly behaved when the second rotation is near 90 degrees.

Public Member Functions

 Universal ()
 Universal (MobilizedBody &parent, const Body &)
 By default the parent body frame and the body's own frame are used as the inboard and outboard mobilizer frames, resp.
 Universal (MobilizedBody &parent, const Transform &inbFrame, const Body &, const Transform &outbFrame)
 Use this constructor to specify mobilizer frames which are not coincident with the body frames.
UniversaladdBodyDecoration (const Transform &X_BD, const DecorativeGeometry &g)
 Add decorative geometry specified relative to the new (outboard) body's reference frame B, or to the outboard mobilizer frame M attached to body B, or to the inboard mobilizer frame F attached to the parent body P.
UniversaladdOutboardDecoration (const Transform &X_MD, const DecorativeGeometry &g)
 Add decorative geometry specified relative to the outboard mobilizer frame M attached to body B.
UniversaladdInboardDecoration (const Transform &X_FD, const DecorativeGeometry &g)
 Add decorative geometry specified relative to the inboard mobilizer frame F attached to the parent body P.
UniversalsetDefaultInboardFrame (const Transform &X_PF)
 Change this mobilizer's frame F on the parent body P.
UniversalsetDefaultOutboardFrame (const Transform &X_BM)
 Change this mobilizer's frame M fixed on this (the outboard) body B.

Member Function Documentation

Universal& addBodyDecoration ( const Transform X_BD,
const DecorativeGeometry g 
) [inline]

Add decorative geometry specified relative to the new (outboard) body's reference frame B, or to the outboard mobilizer frame M attached to body B, or to the inboard mobilizer frame F attached to the parent body P.

Note that the body itself may already have had some decorative geometry on it when it was first put into this MobilizedBody; in that case this just adds more.

Reimplemented from MobilizedBody.

References MobilizedBody::addBodyDecoration().

Universal& addOutboardDecoration ( const Transform X_MD,
const DecorativeGeometry  
) [inline]

Add decorative geometry specified relative to the outboard mobilizer frame M attached to body B.

If body B already has decorative geometry on it, this just adds some more.

Reimplemented from MobilizedBody.

References MobilizedBody::addOutboardDecoration().

Universal& addInboardDecoration ( const Transform X_FD,
const DecorativeGeometry  
) [inline]

Add decorative geometry specified relative to the inboard mobilizer frame F attached to the parent body P.

If body P already has decorative geometry on it, this just adds some more.

Reimplemented from MobilizedBody.

References MobilizedBody::addInboardDecoration().

Universal& setDefaultInboardFrame ( const Transform X_PF  )  [inline]

Change this mobilizer's frame F on the parent body P.

Calling this method invalidates the MobilizedBody's topology, so the containing matter subsystem's realizeTopology() method must be called again. A reference to this MobilizedBody is returned so that this can be chained like an assignment operator.

Reimplemented from MobilizedBody.

References MobilizedBody::setDefaultInboardFrame().

Universal& setDefaultOutboardFrame ( const Transform X_BM  )  [inline]

Change this mobilizer's frame M fixed on this (the outboard) body B.

Calling this method invalidates the MobilizedBody's topology, so the containing matter subsystem's realizeTopology() method must be called again. A reference to this MobilizedBody is returned so that this can be chained like an assignment operator.

Reimplemented from MobilizedBody.

References MobilizedBody::setDefaultOutboardFrame().
