Detailed Description

template<class C = Frame>
class OpenSim::OffsetFrame< C >

An OffsetFrame is a Frame whose transform (translation and orientation) with respect to another (parent) Frame is constant in time.

It acts as an extension of the parent Frame type so that an OffsetFrame<PhysicalFrame>, for example, can be treated as a PhysicalFrame. This enables Frames to be filtered by their type (e.g. Physical or not), regardless of whether or not the Frame is also an OffsetFrame. (A class whose super class is a template parameter is called a mixin class.)

OffsetFrames also have the property that if they form a chain or a tree, each OffsetFrame shares the same Base which is the parent of the first/root OffsetFrame in the tree. This allows Solvers and algorithms to work directly with the Base which can be more efficient.

OffsetFrame is an abstract class. Derive concrete subclasses in order to accommodate new Frame types that require their offsets to retain the same type as the parent. For example:

class PhysicalOffsetFrame : public OffsetFrame<PhysicalFrame>
See also
PhysicalOffsetFrame.
Template Parameters
CThe type of the parent frame, as well as the super class. Must be of type Frame.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Self

template<class C = Frame>
typedef OffsetFrame OpenSim::OffsetFrame< C >::Self

This typedef might be useful within the member functions of this class.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ Super

template<class C = Frame>
typedef C OpenSim::OffsetFrame< C >::Super

Use this typedef to refer to the superclass of this class.

Avoid using the explicit type name of the superclass; this would introduce bugs if the superclass is changed.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ getOffsetTransform()

template<class C >

Get the transform that describes the translational and rotational offset of this frame (F frame) relative to its parent frame (B frame).

This method returns the transform converting quantities expressed in F frame to quantities expressed in the B frame. This is mathematically stated as, vec_P = X_BF*vec_F , where X_BF is the transform returned by getTransform.

This transform is computed using the translation and orientation properties of this object.

Returns
offset The transform between this frame and its parent frame.
