Detailed Description

A class for representing a StepFunction.

Defines a piecewise function (f: {R}{R}), with a smooth "S"-shaped quintic polynomial \(S(t)\) from (startTime, startValue) to (endTime, endValue). The function is defined as follows:

\[f(t) = \begin{cases} startValue, & t\leq startTime\\ S(t), & startTime < t \leq endTime\\ endValue, & endTime < t \end{cases}\]

The function has the following shape:

This class inherits from Function and so can be used as input to any class requiring a Function as input.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Self

typedef StepFunction OpenSim::StepFunction::Self

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

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ Super

typedef Function OpenSim::StepFunction::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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ assign()

void OpenSim::StepFunction::assign ( Object & aObject )

inlineoverride

This allows copy assignment in the Java GUI.

Exceptions

Exception if the argument is not of type StepFunction.

◆ clone()

StepFunction* OpenSim::StepFunction::clone ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.

It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.

Implements OpenSim::Function.

◆ createSimTKFunction()

SimTK::Function* OpenSim::StepFunction::createSimTKFunction ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return a SimTK::Function that can be used natively by the underlying SimTK::System and its elements.

Implements OpenSim::Function.

◆ getClassName()

static const std::string& OpenSim::StepFunction::getClassName ( )

inlinestatic

This returns "StepFunction".

See getConcreteClassName() if you want the class name of the underlying concrete object instead.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::StepFunction::getConcreteClassName ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.

This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.

Implements OpenSim::Function.

◆ getEndTime()

double OpenSim::StepFunction::getEndTime ( ) const

inline

Get step transition time.

◆ getEndValue()

double OpenSim::StepFunction::getEndValue ( ) const

inline

Get end value before step.

◆ getStartTime()

double OpenSim::StepFunction::getStartTime ( ) const

inline

Get step transition time.

◆ getStartValue()

double OpenSim::StepFunction::getStartValue ( ) const

inline

Get start value before step.

◆ operator=()

StepFunction& OpenSim::StepFunction::operator= ( const StepFunction & aStepFunction )

◆ safeDownCast()

static StepFunction* OpenSim::StepFunction::safeDownCast ( OpenSim::Object * obj )

inlinestatic

For use in MATLAB and Python to access the concrete class.

Example: cObj = StepFunction.safeDownCast(obj). This is equivalent to dynamic_cast<StepFunction*>(obj) in C++.

◆ setEndTime()

void OpenSim::StepFunction::setEndTime ( double time )

inline

Set step transition end time

◆ setEndValue()

void OpenSim::StepFunction::setEndValue ( double end )

inline

Set end value before step

◆ setStartTime()

void OpenSim::StepFunction::setStartTime ( double time )

inline

Set step transition start time

◆ setStartValue()

void OpenSim::StepFunction::setStartValue ( double start )

inline

Set start value before step
