Member Function Documentation

Object * BallJoint::copy

(

)

const [virtual]

Copy this body and return a pointer to the copy.

The copy constructor for this class is used.

Returns:

Pointer to a copy of this OpenSim::Body.

Implements OpenSim::Joint.

void BallJoint::copyData

(

const BallJoint &

aJoint

)

Copy data members from one BallJoint to another.

Parameters:

aJoint

BallJoint to be copied.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

void BallJoint::createSystem

(

SimTK::MultibodySystem &

system

)

const [protected, virtual]

This is called when a SimTK System is being created for the Model.

It should be overridden to add appropriate elements to the System corresponding to this object.

Parameters:

system

the System being created

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

void BallJoint::initState

(

SimTK::State &

state

)

const [protected, virtual]

This is called after a SimTK System and State have been created for the Model.

It may be overridden to set initial values of state variables.

Parameters:

state

the State to initialize

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

virtual int OpenSim::BallJoint::numCoordinates

(

)

const [inline, virtual]

Implements OpenSim::Joint.

BallJoint & BallJoint::operator=

(

const BallJoint &

aJoint

)

Assignment operator.

Returns:

Reference to this object.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

void BallJoint::scale

(

const ScaleSet &

aScaleSet

)

[virtual]

Scale a joint based on XYZ scale factors for the bodies.

Parameters:

aScaleSet

Set of XYZ scale factors for the bodies.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

void BallJoint::setDefaultsFromState

(

const SimTK::State &

state

)

[protected, virtual]

Set all default values for this object to match those in a specified State.

It should be overridden to set any default values defined by each subclass.

Parameters:

state

the State from which to take values that should become the defaults for this object

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

void BallJoint::setup

(

Model &

aModel

)

[virtual]

Perform some set up functions that happen after the object has been deserialized or copied.

Parameters:

aEngine

dynamics engine containing this BallJoint.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.
