Detailed Description

A class for recording the kinematics of a point on a body of a model during a simulation.

Author:: Frank C. Anderson

Version:: 1.0

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PointKinematics::PointKinematics ( Model * aModel = 0 )

Construct an PointKinematics instance for recording the kinematics of the bodies of a model during a simulation.

Also serves as a default constructor

Parameters:

aModel

Model for which the analyses are to be recorded.

PointKinematics::PointKinematics ( const std::string & aFileName )

Construct an object from file.

The object is constructed from the root element of the XML document. The type of object is the tag name of the XML root element.

Parameters:

aFileName

File name of the document.

PointKinematics::PointKinematics ( const PointKinematics & aObject )

Copy constructor.

PointKinematics::~PointKinematics ( ) [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

int PointKinematics::begin ( const SimTK::State & s ) [virtual]

This method is called at the beginning of an analysis so that any necessary initializations may be performed.

This method is meant to be called at the begining of an integration

This method should be overriden in the child class. It is included here so that the child class will not have to implement it if it is not necessary.

Parameters:

	s	current system state
	aClientData	General use pointer for sending in client data.

Returns:: -1 on error, 0 otherwise.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Analysis.

Object * PointKinematics::copy ( ) const [virtual]

Clone.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Analysis.

int PointKinematics::end ( const SimTK::State & s ) [virtual]

This method is called at the end of an analysis so that any necessary finalizations may be performed.

This method is meant to be called at the end of an integration

This method should be overriden in the child class. It is included here so that the child class will not have to implement it if it is not necessary.

Parameters:

	s	current state of system
	aClientData	General use pointer for sending in client data.

Returns:: -1 on error, 0 otherwise.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Analysis.

Storage * PointKinematics::getAccelerationStorage ( )

Get the acceleration storage.

Returns:: Acceleration storage.

Body * PointKinematics::getBody ( )

Get the body for which the induced accelerations are to be computed.

Returns:: Body pointer

void PointKinematics::getPoint ( SimTK::Vec3 & rPoint )

Get the point for which the induced accelerations are to be computed.

Parameters:

rPoint

X-Y-Z Point

const std::string & PointKinematics::getPointName ( )

Get the point name.

Parameters:

aName

Name for the point.

Storage * PointKinematics::getPositionStorage ( )

Get the position storage.

Returns:: Position storage.

Body * PointKinematics::getRelativeToBody ( )

Storage * PointKinematics::getVelocityStorage ( )

Get the velocity storage.

Returns:: Velocity storage.

PointKinematics & PointKinematics::operator= ( const PointKinematics & aPointKinematics )

Assign this object to the values of another.

Returns:: Reference to this object.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Analysis.

virtual int OpenSim::PointKinematics::printResults	(	const std::string &	aBaseName,
		const std::string &	aDir = `""`,
		double	aDT = `-1.0`,
		const std::string &	aExtension = `".sto"`
	)			`[virtual]`

Print the results of the analysis.

Parameters:

	aFileName	File to which to print the data.
	aDT	Time interval between results (linear interpolation is used). If not included as an argument or negative, all time steps are printed without interpolation.

Returns:: -1 on error, 0 otherwise.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Analysis.

int PointKinematics::record ( const SimTK::State & s ) [protected, virtual]

Record the kinematics.

void PointKinematics::setBody ( Body * aBody )

Set the body for which the induced accelerations are to be computed.

Parameters:

aBody

Body ID

void PointKinematics::setBodyPoint	(	const std::string &	aBody,
		const SimTK::Vec3 &	aPoint
	)

Set the body for which the point kinematics are to be computed and the point on the body represented in local frame.

Both params are required to avoid the limbo state where either body or point are undefined..

Parameters:

aBody

Body name [3] aPoint point coordinates

void PointKinematics::setModel ( Model & aModel ) [virtual]

Set the model for which the point kinematics are to be computed.

Parameters:

aModel

Model pointer

void PointKinematics::setPoint ( const SimTK::Vec3 & aPoint )

Set the point for which the induced accelerations are to be computed.

Parameters:

void PointKinematics::setPointName ( const char * aName )

Set a name for the point.

Parameters:

void PointKinematics::setStorageCapacityIncrements ( int aIncrement )

Set the capacity increments of all storage instances.

Parameters:

aIncrement

Increment by which storage capacities will be increased when storage capcities run out.

int PointKinematics::step ( const SimTK::State & s ) [virtual]

This method is called to perform the analysis.

It can be called during the execution of a forward integrations or after the integration by feeding it the necessary data.

When called during an integration, this method is meant to be called

This method should be overriden in derived classes. It is included here so that the derived class will not have to implement it if it is not necessary.

Parameters:
