Detailed Description

A class implementing a Gimbal joint.

The underlying implementation Simbody is a SimTK::MobilizedBody::Gimbal. The opensim Gimbal joint implementation uses a X-Y-Z body fixed Euler sequence for generalized coordinates calculation. Gimbal joints have a singularity when Y is near \(\frac{\pi}{2}\). Generalized speeds are equal to the Euler angle derivatives ( \(\vec{u} = \dot{\vec{q}}\))

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Self

This typedef might be useful within the member functions of this class.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ Super

Use this typedef to refer to the superclass of this class.

Avoid using the explicit type name of the superclass; this would introduce bugs if the superclass is changed.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ Coord

enum OpenSim::GimbalJoint::Coord : unsigned

import opensim
rx = myGimbalJoint.getCoordinate(opensim.GimbalJoint.Coord_Rotation1X)

Member Function Documentation

◆ assign()

void OpenSim::GimbalJoint::assign ( Object aObject)
inlineoverride

This allows copy assignment in the Java GUI.

Exceptions
Exceptionif the argument is not of type GimbalJoint.

◆ clone()

GimbalJoint* OpenSim::GimbalJoint::clone ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.

It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.

Implements OpenSim::Joint.

◆ extendAddToSystem()

void OpenSim::GimbalJoint::extendAddToSystem ( SimTK::MultibodySystem &  system) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Add appropriate Simbody elements (if needed) to the System corresponding to this component and specify needed state resources.

extendAddToSystem() is called when the Simbody System is being created to represent a completed system (model) for computation. That is, connect() will already have been invoked on all components before any addToSystem() call is made. Helper methods for adding modeling options, state variables and their derivatives, discrete variables, and cache entries are available and can be called within extendAddToSystem() only.

Note that this method is const; you may not modify your model component or the containing model during this call. Any modifications you need should instead be performed in finalizeFromProperties() or at the latest connect(), which are non-const. The only exception is that you may need to record access information for resources you create in the system, such as an index number. For most Components, OpenSim base classes either provide convenience methods or handle indices automatically. Otherwise, you must declare indices as mutable data members so that you can set them here.

If you override this method, be sure to invoke the base class method at the beginning, using code like this:

void MyComponent::extendAddToSystem(SimTK::MultibodySystem& system) const {
// Perform any additions to the system required by your Super
// ... your code goes here
}

This method assumes that this Component's addToSystem will be invoked before its subcomponents. If you need your subcomponents to be added to the system, first (e.g. require of a Force to be anchored to a SimTK::MobilizedBody specified by subcomponents) then you must implement: extendAddToSystemAfterSubcomponents(). It is possible to implement both method to add system elements before and then after your subcomponents have added themselves. Caution is required that Simbody elements are not added twice especially when order is unimportant.

Parameters
[in,out]systemThe MultibodySystem being added to.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Component.

◆ extendInitStateFromProperties()

void OpenSim::GimbalJoint::extendInitStateFromProperties ( SimTK::State &  state) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Transfer property values or other state-independent initial values into this component's state variables in the passed-in state argument.

This is called after a SimTK::System and State have been created for the Model (that is, after extendAddToSystem() has been called on all components). You should override this method if your component has properties (serializable values) that can affect initial values for your state variables. You can also perform any other state-independent calculations here that result in state initial conditions.

If you override this method, be sure to invoke the base class method first, using code like this:

void MyComponent::extendInitStateFromProperties(SimTK::State& state) const {
Super::extendInitStateFromProperties(state); // invoke parent class method
// ... your code goes here
}
Parameters
stateThe state that will receive the new initial conditions.
See also
extendSetPropertiesFromState()

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Component.

◆ extendSetPropertiesFromState()

void OpenSim::GimbalJoint::extendSetPropertiesFromState ( const SimTK::State &  state)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Update this component's property values to match the specified State, if the component has created any state variable that is intended to correspond to a property.

Thus, state variable values can persist as part of the model component and be serialized as a property.

If you override this method, be sure to invoke the base class method first, using code like this:

void MyComponent::extendSetPropertiesFromState(const SimTK::State& state) {
Super::extendSetPropertiesFromState(state); // invoke parent class method
// ... your code goes here
}
Parameters
stateThe State from which values may be extracted to set persistent property values.
See also
extendInitStateFromProperties()

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Component.

◆ getClassName()

static const std::string& OpenSim::GimbalJoint::getClassName ( )
inlinestatic

This returns "GimbalJoint".

See getConcreteClassName() if you want the class name of the underlying concrete object instead.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::GimbalJoint::getConcreteClassName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.

This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.

See also
getClassName()

Implements OpenSim::Joint.

◆ getCoordinate()

const Coordinate& OpenSim::GimbalJoint::getCoordinate ( Coord  idx) const
inline

Get a const reference to a Coordinate associated with this Joint.

See also
Coord

◆ safeDownCast()

static GimbalJoint* OpenSim::GimbalJoint::safeDownCast ( OpenSim::Object obj)
inlinestatic

For use in MATLAB and Python to access the concrete class.

Example: cObj = GimbalJoint.safeDownCast(obj). This is equivalent to dynamic_cast<GimbalJoint*>(obj) in C++.

◆ updCoordinate()

Coordinate& OpenSim::GimbalJoint::updCoordinate ( Coord  idx)
inline

Get a writable reference to a Coordinate associated with this Joint.
