Detailed Description

This is a rigid body in the shape of a line, which is inherently inertialess about its axis.

Its mass properties may be modified later, but only in such a way that the Body remains inertialess about one axis.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SimTK::Body::Linear::Linear ( )

SimTK::Body::Linear::Linear ( const MassProperties & ) [explicit]

Linear& SimTK::Body::Linear::addDecoration	(	const Transform &	X_BD,
		const DecorativeGeometry &
	)		`[inline]`

Add a piece of decorative geometry fixed at some location on this Body.

This can be used for visualization of the Body's motion. Returns a reference to the Body so these can be chained like assignment operators.

Reimplemented from SimTK::Body.

Linear& SimTK::Body::Linear::setDefaultRigidBodyMassProperties ( const MassProperties & ) [inline]

Every type of Body should provide an initial set of rigid body mass properties defined at Topology stage (i.e., in the System rather than the State).

This is thus a Topology-stage change which will require a new realizeTopology() before use.

Reimplemented from SimTK::Body.

SimTK::Body::Linear::SimTK_PIMPL_DOWNCAST	(	Linear	,
		Body
	)
