Member Function Documentation

void OpenSim::BallJoint::addToSystem ( SimTK::MultibodySystem & system ) const

overrideprotectedvirtual

Add appropriate Simbody elements (if needed) to the System

corresponding to this component and specify needed state resources.

addToSystem() is called when the Simbody System is being created to represent a completed Model for computation. That is, connectToModel() 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 addToSystem() only.

Note that this method is const; you must not modify your model component or the containing model during this call. Any modifications you need should instead be performed in connectToModel(), which is non-const. One exception is that you may need to record access information for resources you create in the system, such as an index number. You should declare those data members mutable so that you can set them here.

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

void MyComponent::addToSystem(SimTK::MultibodySystem& system) const {
    Super::addToSystem(system); // invoke parent class method
    // ... your code goes here
}

Parameters

[in,out] system The System being created.

See Also: addModelingOption(), addStateVariable(), addDiscreteVariables(), addCacheVariable()

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

void OpenSim::BallJoint::connectToModel ( Model & aModel )

overrideprotectedvirtual

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

Parameters

aModel OpenSim model containing this Joint.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

void OpenSim::BallJoint::initStateFromProperties ( 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 addToSystem() 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::initStateFromProperties(SimTK::State& state) const {
    Super::initStateFromProperties(state); // invoke parent class method
    // ... your code goes here
}

Parameters

state The state that will receive the new initial conditions.

See Also: setPropertiesFromState()

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

virtual int OpenSim::BallJoint::numCoordinates ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Implements OpenSim::Joint.

virtual void OpenSim::BallJoint::scale ( const ScaleSet & aScaleSet )

virtual

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

Generic behavior is to scale the locations on parent and on the body according to scale factors of the bodies upon which they are located.

Joint subclasses should invoke this method before scaling joint specific properties

Parameters

aScaleSet Set of XYZ scale factors for the bodies.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Joint.

void OpenSim::BallJoint::setPropertiesFromState ( 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::setPropertiesFromState(const SimTK::State& state) {
    Super::setPropertiesFromState(state); // invoke parent class method
    // ... your code goes here
}

Parameters

state The State from which values may be extracted to set persistent property values.

See Also: initStateFromProperties()
