List of all members.


Detailed Description

Zero mobilities.

This degenerate "mobilizer" serves only to weld together the M frame of a body to the F frame on its parent. TODO: not implemented yet.

Public Member Functions

 Weld ()
 Weld (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.
 Weld (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.
WeldaddBodyDecoration (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.
WeldaddOutboardDecoration (const Transform &X_MD, const DecorativeGeometry &g)
 Add decorative geometry specified relative to the outboard mobilizer frame M attached to body B.
WeldaddInboardDecoration (const Transform &X_FD, const DecorativeGeometry &g)
 Add decorative geometry specified relative to the inboard mobilizer frame F attached to the parent body P.
WeldsetDefaultInboardFrame (const Transform &X_PF)
 Change this mobilizer's frame F on the parent body P.
WeldsetDefaultOutboardFrame (const Transform &X_BM)
 Change this mobilizer's frame M fixed on this (the outboard) body B.

Use this constructor to specify mobilizer frames which are not coincident with the body frames.


Member Function Documentation

Weld& 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().

Weld& 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().

Weld& 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().

Weld& 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().

Weld& 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().
