Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OpenSim::Ligament::Ligament ( )

Member Function Documentation

void OpenSim::Ligament::addToSystem ( SimTK::MultibodySystem &  system) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Default is to create a ForceAdapter which is a SimTK::Force::Custom

as the underlying computational component.

Subclasses override to employ other SimTK::Forces; be sure to invoke Force::addToSystem() at the beginning of the overriding method.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Force.

virtual void OpenSim::Ligament::computeForce ( const SimTK::State &  state,
SimTK::Vector_< SimTK::SpatialVec > &  bodyForces,
SimTK::Vector &  generalizedForces 
) const
virtual

Subclasses must implement this method to compute the forces that should be applied to bodies and generalized speeds.

This is invoked by ForceAdapter to perform the force computation.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Force.

virtual double OpenSim::Ligament::computeMomentArm ( SimTK::State &  s,
Coordinate aCoord 
) const
virtual
void OpenSim::Ligament::connectToModel ( Model model)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Perform any necessary initializations required to connect the 

component into the Model, and check for error conditions.

connectToModel() is invoked on all components to complete construction of a Model, prior to creating a Simbody System to represent it computationally. It may also be invoked at times just for its error-checking side effects.

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

void MyComponent::connectToModel(Model& model) {
Super::connectToModel(model); // invoke parent class method
// ... your code goes here
}

Note that this method is expected to check for modeling errors and should throw an OpenSim::Exception if there is something wrong. For example, if your model component references another object by name, you should verify that it exists in the supplied Model, which is not guaranteed since components may be independently instantiated or constructed from XML files.

Parameters
[in,out]modelThe Model currently being constructed to which this ModelComponent should be connected.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::ModelComponent.

virtual VisibleObject* OpenSim::Ligament::getDisplayer ( ) const

Methods to support making the object displayable in the GUI or Visualizer Implemented only in few objects.

virtual bool OpenSim::Ligament::hasGeometryPath ( ) const

Return a flag indicating whether the Force is applied along a Path.

If you override this method to return true for a specific subclass, it must also implement the getGeometryPath() method.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Force.

void OpenSim::Ligament::initStateFromProperties ( SimTK::State &  state) const

Subclass should override; be sure to invoke Force::initStateFromProperties() at the

beginning of the overriding method.

This is typically done by recomputing anchor points and positions based on transforms obtained from current state.
