Detailed Description

This is a derived class from the base class actuator (e.g., a torque motor, muscle, ...) that requires exactly one external input (control) to generate a scalar value force, such as a torque/force magnitude or a tension.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Self

typedef ScalarActuator OpenSim::ScalarActuator::Self

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

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ Super

typedef Actuator OpenSim::ScalarActuator::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.

◆ assign()

Exceptions

Exception if the argument is not of type ScalarActuator.

◆ clone()

ScalarActuator* OpenSim::ScalarActuator::clone ( ) const

overridepure virtual

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.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

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

overridepure virtual

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.
