Detailed Description

A Tool is an OpenSim abstraction that encapsulates an analysis or series of modeling and analysis steps.

Its primary duty is to provide an interface for use by the GUI or as a standalone command line executable. It includes common methods for invoking the tool and performing routine I/O.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual OpenSim::Tool::~Tool ( )

inlinevirtual

Destructor.

OpenSim::Tool::Tool ( )

inline

Default constructor.

OpenSim::Tool::Tool	(	const std::string &	aFileName,
		bool	aUpdateFromXMLNode = `true`
	)

inline

Construct 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.
aUpdateFromXMLNode

OpenSim::Tool::Tool ( const Tool & aTool)

inline

Copy constructor.

Parameters

aTool to be copied.

Member Function Documentation

const std::string& OpenSim::Tool::getInputsDir ( ) const

inline

Get/set Inputs Directory.

const std::string& OpenSim::Tool::getResultsDir ( ) const

inline

Get/set Results Directory.

const VerboseLevel OpenSim::Tool::getVerboseLevel ( ) const

inline

Get/Set verbose level.

Tool& OpenSim::Tool::operator= ( const Tool & source)

inline

Assignment operator.

Returns: Reference to this object.

References _inputsDir, _resultsDir, and _verboseLevel.

virtual bool OpenSim::Tool::run ( )

pure virtual

The run() method of a Tool embodies what would be the main() routine for a standalone program.

Therefore, any OpenSim main program can become a Tool executable from the GUI by making it a run() method for a new Tool.

It is expected that the run() method be composed of a sequence of calls to underlying computational and reporting objects and should

Implemented in OpenSim::InverseKinematicsTool, OpenSim::InverseDynamicsTool, and OpenSim::DynamicsTool.
