Mobilizer locking and unlocking | |
Every MobilizedBody object supports locking and unlocking of the mobilizer it contains. You can lock the mobilizer's position, velocity, or acceleration. In all cases the generalized accelerations udot of a locked mobilizer are prescribed. If you lock just the accelerations, then velocity and position remain free. If you lock velocity, then the generalized speeds u are prescribed to specified values, accelerations udot are prescribed to zero, and positions will remain free. If you lock position (the default locking level) then the generalized coordinates q are prescribed to specified values and the speeds u and accelerations udot are prescribed to zero. Prescribed values may be obtained from the current state, or set explicitly. The lock() and lockAt() methods when called at position level will modify q in the given state if necessary to satisfy the locked position, and will set u to zero. When called at velocity level they will modify u if necessary to satisfied the locked velocity, but will leave q unchanged. You can also specify that a mobilizer is locked by default (at acceleration, velocity, or position level). In that case the prescribed value is recorded when the state is realized to Stage::Model, using values taken from the state at that time. If this mobilizer is driven by a Motion object, locking overrides that while the lock is active; when unlocked the Motion object resumes control. | |

Detailed Description
A MobilizedBody is Simbody's fundamental body-and-joint object used to parameterize a system's motion by constructing a multibody tree containing each body and its unique mobilizer (internal coordinate joint).
A MobilizedBody connects a new body (the "child", "outboard", or "successor" body) with a mobilizer and a reference frame to an existing MobilizedBody (the "parent", "inboard", or "predecessor" body) that is already part of a SimbodyMatterSubsystem. In the topology of the multibody tree, the parent mobilized body is always closer to Ground ("inboard") than is the child.
This is the base class for all MobilizedBody classes, which include a body and a particular kind of mobilizer. Each built-in MobilizedBody type is a local subclass within MobilizedBody, so the built-ins have names like MobilizedBody::Pin. All concrete MobilizedBody classes, including the built-ins, are derived from MobilizedBody. There is a MobilizedBody::Custom class available for defining your own mobilizer types.
Normally, a MobilizedBody's motion is unknown and Simbody calculates it using forward dynamics where the motion results from external or internal forces. However, a MobilizedBody may be locked or controlled by an associated Motion object which defines how it is to move; those are inverse dynamics conditions in which the motion is known but the generalized forces required to produce that motion are to be determined. In general a system may contain a mix of forward- and inverse-dynamics mobilizers, and mobilizers may be switched between forward and inverse dynamics during simulations.
The MobilizedBody class supports a large number of methods useful for obtaining and modifying body-specific and mobilizer-specific information and for performing useful computations. These are organized in three sets:
- State Access
- Basic Operators
- High Level Operators
State Access methods simply extract already-calculated data from the State or State Cache, or set state values. They involve no additional computation, have names beginning with "get" and "upd" (update) and return references to the requested quantities rather than calculated values. We divide these into routines which deal with bodies and routines which deal with mobilizers and mobilities.
Basic Operators use State Access methods to compute basic quantities which cannot be precomputed, such as the velocity of an arbitrary point, using an inline combination of basic floating point operations which can be reliably determined at compile time. These have names beginning with "find" or a more specific verb, as a reminder that they do not require a great deal of computation.
High Level Operators combine state access and basic operators with run-time tests to calculate more complex quantities, with more complicated implementations that can exploit special cases at run time. These begin with "calc" (calculate) as a reminder that they may involve substantial run time computation.
There is also a set of methods used for construction, and miscellaneous utilities.
Mobilizer Terminology and Notation
Refer to the figure below for the terminology we use when discussing mobilizers and mobilized bodies.
The figure shows the coordinate frames used in describing the mobility of MobilizedBody B with respect to its inboard parent body P. Everything blue in the figure is associated with B. The origin point O of each frame is labeled. A new MobilizedBody with body frame B is added to the multibody tree by choosing a parent body P that is already present in the tree. There are two frames associated with the mobilizer: the "fixed" frame F that is attached to the parent, and the "moving" frame M that is attached to the new body B. Frame F is specified by giving its transform X_PF relative to the P frame. Frame M is specified by giving its transform X_BM relative to the B frame. At run time the transform X_FM between the two mobilizer frames represents translation and rotation of the mobilizer. That motion is parameterized via generalized coordinates q and generalized speeds u, the specific meaning of which is a unique property of each type of mobilizer.
In the API below, we'll refer to the current ("this") MobilizedBody as "body B". It is the "object" or "main" body with which we are concerned. Often there will be another body mentioned in the argument list as a target for some conversion. That "another" body will be called "body A". The Ground body is abbreviated "G".
We use Fo to mean "the origin of frame F", Bc is "the mass center of body B". R_AF is the rotation matrix giving frame F's orientation in frame A, such that a vector v expressed in F is reexpressed in A by v_A = R_AF*v_F. X_AF is the spatial transform giving frame F's orientation and origin location in frame A, such that a point P whose location is measured from F's origin Fo and expressed in F by position vector p_FP (or more explicitly p_FoP) is remeasured from frame A's origin Ao and reexpressed in A via p_AP = X_AF*p_FP, where p_AP==p_AoP.

Member Enumeration Documentation
◆ Direction
Constructors can take an argument of this type to indicate that the mobilizer is being defined in the reverse direction, meaning from the outboard (child) body to the inboard (parent) body.
That means that the mobilizer coordinates and speeds will be defined as though the tree had been built in the opposite direction. It does not actually affect which body is the inboard one and which is the outboard; it just affects the definitions of the generalized coordinates q and speeds u that parameterize the motion of the outboard body with respect to the inboard one. This is a topological setting and can't be changed dynamically.
| Enumerator | |
|---|---|
| Forward | Use default definitions for q and u (inboard to outboard). |
| Reverse | Define q and u in the reverse order (outboard to inboard). |

Member Function Documentation
◆ lock()
| void SimTK::MobilizedBody::lock | ( | State & | state, |
| Motion::Level | level = Motion::Position |
||
| ) | const |
Lock this mobilizer's position or velocity at its current value, or lock the acceleration to zero, depending on the level parameter.
The prescribed position or velocity is taken from state and recorded. If the lock is at the position (q) level then the generalized speeds u for this mobilizer are set to zero in the state. If the mobilizer was already locked, the new lock specification overrides it. The state must already have been realized to at least Stage::Model and will be lowered to Stage::Model on return since a lock is an Instance-stage change.
◆ lockAt() [1/3]
| void SimTK::MobilizedBody::lockAt | ( | State & | state, |
| Real | value, | ||
| Motion::Level | level = Motion::Position |
||
| ) | const |
Lock this mobilizer's q, u, or udot to the given scalar value, depending on level.
When locking at the position level (the default), this mobilizer's q in state is set to value, and u in state is set to zero. When locking at velocity level, this mobilizer's u in state is set to value but the q is left unchanged. This signature of lockAt(), taking value as a scalar, is only permitted for mobilizers that have just a single q and u, such as a Pin or Slider mobilizer. See the other signatures of lockAt() for multi-coordinate mobilizers.
◆ lockAt() [2/3]
| void SimTK::MobilizedBody::lockAt | ( | State & | state, |
| const Vector & | value, | ||
| Motion::Level | level = Motion::Position |
||
| ) | const |
Lock this mobilizer's q, u, or udot to the given Vector value, depending on level.
When locking at the position level (the default), this mobilizer's q's in state is set to value, and its u's in state are set to zero. When locking at velocity level, this mobilizer's u's in state are set to value but its q's are left unchanged. The Vector must be the expected length, either nq=getNumQ() for the default Motion::Position level, or nu=getNumU() for Motion::Velocity or Motion::Acceleration levels.
◆ lockAt() [3/3]
| void SimTK::MobilizedBody::lockAt | ( | State & | state, |
| const Vec< N > & | value, | ||
| Motion::Level | level = Motion::Position |
||
| ) | const |
Lock this mobilizer's q, u, or udot to the given Vec<N> value, depending on the level.
When locking at the position level (the default), this mobilizer's q's in state is set to value, and its u's in state are set to zero. When locking at velocity level, this mobilizer's u's in state are set to value but its q's are left unchanged. The size N of the given Vec must match the expected length, either nq=getNumQ() for the default Motion::Position level, or nu=getNumU() for Motion::Velocity or Motion::Acceleration levels.
◆ unlock()
| void SimTK::MobilizedBody::unlock | ( | State & | state | ) | const |
Unlock this mobilizer, returning it to its normal behavior which may be free motion or may be controlled by a Motion object.
If the mobilizer is already unlocked nothing happens.
◆ isLocked()
|
inline |
Check whether this mobilizer is currently locked in the given state.
◆ getLockLevel()
| Motion::Level SimTK::MobilizedBody::getLockLevel | ( | const State & | state | ) | const |
Returns the lock level if the mobilizer is locked in the given state, otherwise Motion::NoLevel.
◆ getLockValueAsVector()
Return the q, u, or udot value at which this mobilizer is locked, depending on the lock level, as a Vector of the appropriate length.
If the mobilizer is not currently locked, a zero-length Vector is returned.
◆ lockByDefault()
| MobilizedBody& SimTK::MobilizedBody::lockByDefault | ( | Motion::Level | level = Motion::Position | ) |
Change whether this mobilizer is initially locked.
On construction the mobilizer is unlocked by default; you can change that here. To respecify that the motion is unlocked, use Motion::NoLevel as the level. This is a topological change; you'll have to call realizeTopology() again and get a new State if you call this method. If the default lock is at the position or velocity level, the required q or u value is recorded at the time a state is realized to Stage::Model. A default Motion::Acceleration lock always prescribes the accelerations udot to zero.
◆ isLockedByDefault()
|
inline |
Check whether this mobilizer is to be locked in the default state.
◆ getLockByDefaultLevel()
| Motion::Level SimTK::MobilizedBody::getLockByDefaultLevel | ( | ) | const |
Returns the level at which the mobilizer is locked by default, if it is locked by default, otherwise Motion::NoLevel.
◆ getBodyTransform()
Extract from the state cache the already-calculated spatial configuration X_GB of body B's body frame, measured with respect to the Ground frame and expressed in the Ground frame.
That is, we return the location of the body frame's origin, and the orientation of its x, y, and z axes, as the Transform X_GB. This notation is intended to convey unambiguously the sense of this transform, which is as follows: if you have a station (body fixed point) S on body B, represented by position vector p_BS (a.k.a. p_BoS) from the origin Bo of B to the point S and expressed in the B frame, then p_GS=X_GB*p_BS where p_GS (== p_GoS) is the position vector from the Ground origin Go to the point in space currently coincident with S and expressed in the Ground frame. The inverse transformation is obtained using the "~" operator where ~X_GB=X_BG, so that p_BS = ~X_GB*p_GS. This response is available at Position stage.
◆ getBodyRotation()
Extract from the state cache the already-calculated spatial orientation R_GB of body B's body frame x, y, and z axes expressed in the Ground frame, as the Rotation matrix R_GB.
The sense of this rotation matrix is such that if you have a vector v fixed on body B, represented by the vector v_B expressed in the B frame, then v_G=R_GB*v_B where v_G is the same vector but re-expressed in the Ground frame. The inverse transformation is obtained using the "~" operator where ~R_GB=R_BG, so that v_B = ~R_GB*v_G. This response is available at Position stage.
◆ getBodyOriginLocation()

At stage Position or higher, return the cross-mobilizer transform X_FM, the body's inboard mobilizer frame M measured and expressed in the parent body's corresponding outboard frame F.
◆ getBodyVelocity()
| const SpatialVec& SimTK::MobilizedBody::getBodyVelocity | ( | const State & | state | ) | const |

That is, we return the linear velocity v_GB of the body frame's origin in G, and the body's angular velocity w_GB as the spatial velocity vector V_GB = {w_GB, v_GB}. This response is available at Velocity stage.
◆ getBodyAngularVelocity()
◆ getBodyOriginVelocity()
◆ getMobilizerVelocity()
| const SpatialVec& SimTK::MobilizedBody::getMobilizerVelocity | ( | const State & | state | ) | const |
At stage Velocity or higher, return the cross-mobilizer velocity V_FM, the relative velocity of this body's "moving" mobilizer frame M in the parent body's corresponding "fixed" frame F, measured and expressed in F.
Note that this isn't the usual spatial velocity since it isn't expressed in G.
◆ getBodyAcceleration()
| const SpatialVec& SimTK::MobilizedBody::getBodyAcceleration | ( | const State & | state | ) | const |
Extract from the state cache the already-calculated spatial acceleration A_GB of this body's reference frame B, measured with respect to the Ground frame and expressed in the Ground frame.
That is, we return the linear acceleration a_GB of the body frame's origin in G, and the body's angular acceleration b_GB as the spatial acceleration vector A_GB = {b_GB, a_GB}. This response is available at Acceleration stage.
◆ getBodyAngularAcceleration()
◆ getBodyOriginAcceleration()
◆ getMobilizerAcceleration()
|
inline |
TODO: Not implemented yet – any volunteers? At stage Acceleration, return the cross-mobilizer acceleration A_FM, the relative acceleration of body B's "moving" mobilizer frame M in the parent body's corresponding "fixed" frame F, measured and expressed in F.
Note that this isn't the usual spatial acceleration since it isn't expressed in G.
◆ getBodyMassProperties()
| const MassProperties& SimTK::MobilizedBody::getBodyMassProperties | ( | const State & | state | ) | const |
Return a reference to this body's mass properties in the State cache.
The State must have been realized to Stage::Instance or higher.
◆ getBodySpatialInertiaInGround()
| const SpatialInertia& SimTK::MobilizedBody::getBodySpatialInertiaInGround | ( | const State & | state | ) | const |
Return a reference to the already-calculated SpatialInertia of this body, taken about the body's origin (not its mass center), and expressed in the Ground frame.
The State must have been realized to Stage::Position or higher.
◆ getBodyMass()
Return the mass of this body.
The State must have been realized to Stage::Instance.
◆ getBodyMassCenterStation()
Return this body's center of mass station (i.e., the vector fixed in the body, going from body origin to body mass center, expressed in the body frame.) The State must have been realized to Stage::Instance or higher.
◆ getBodyUnitInertiaAboutBodyOrigin()
|
inline |
Return a reference to this body's unit inertia matrix in the State cache, taken about the body origin and expressed in the body frame.
The State must have been realized to Stage::Instance or higher.
◆ getInboardFrame()
Return a reference to this mobilizer's frame F fixed on the parent body P, as the fixed Transform from P's body frame to the frame F fixed to P.
If this frame is changeable, the result comes from the State cache, otherwise it is from the MobilizedBody object itself. The State must have been realized to Stage::Instance or higher.
◆ getOutboardFrame()
Return a reference to this MobilizedBody's mobilizer frame M, as the fixed Transform from this body B's frame to the frame M fixed on B.
If this frame is changeable, the result comes from the State cache, otherwise it is from the MobilizedBody object itself. The State must have been realized to Stage::Instance or higher.

◆ setQToFitTransform()
Adjust this mobilizer's q's to best approximate the supplied Transform which requests a particular relative orientation and translation between the F "fixed" frame and M "moving" frame connected by this mobilizer.
This set of methods sets the generalized coordinates, or speeds (state variables) for just the mobilizer associated with this MobilizedBody (ignoring all other mobilizers and constraints), without requiring knowledge of the meanings of the individual state variables. The idea here is to provide a physically-meaningful quantity relating the mobilizer's inboard and outboard frames, and then ask the mobilizer to set its state variables to reproduce that quantity to the extent it can.
These methods can be called in Stage::Model, however the routines may consult the current values of the state variables in some cases, so you must make sure they have been set to reasonable, or at least innocuous values (zero will work). In no circumstance will any of these methods look at any state variables that belong to another mobilizer; they are limited to working locally with just the current mobilizer.
Routines which specify only translation (linear velocity) may use rotational coordinates to help satisfy the translation requirement. An alternate "Only" method is available to forbid modification of purely rotational coordinates in that case. When a mobilizer uses state variables which have combined rotational and translational character (e.g. a screw joint) consult the documentation for the derived MobilizedBody class to find out how that mobilizer responds to these routines.
There is no guarantee that the desired physical quantity will be achieved by these routines; you can check on return if you're worried. Individual mobilizers make specific promises about what they will do; consult the documentation. These routines do not throw exceptions even for absurd requests like specifying a rotation for a sliding mobilizer. Nothing happens if there are no mobilities here, i.e. Ground or a Weld mobilizer.
◆ setQToFitRotation()
Adjust this mobilizer's q's to best approximate the supplied Rotation matrix which requests a particular relative orientation between the "fixed" frame F and "moving" frame M connected by this mobilizer.

◆ setQToFitTranslation()
Adjust this mobilizer's q's to best approximate the supplied position vector which requests a particular offset between the origins of the F "fixed" frame and M "moving" frame connected by this mobilizer, with any q's (rotational or translational) being modified if doing so helps satisfy the request.

◆ setUToFitVelocity()

Adjust this mobilizer's u's (generalized speeds) to best approximate the supplied spatial velocity V_FM which requests the relative angular and linear velocity between the "fixed" and "moving" frames connected by this mobilizer.
Routines which affect generalized speeds u depend on the generalized coordinates q already having been set; they never change these coordinates.

◆ getHCol()
| SpatialVec SimTK::MobilizedBody::getHCol | ( | const State & | state, |

| ) | const |
Expert use only: obtain a column of the hinge matrix H corresponding to one of this mobilizer's mobilities (actually a column of H_PB_G; what Jain calls H* and Schwieters calls H^T).
This is the matrix that maps generalized speeds u to the cross-body relative spatial velocity V_PB_G via V_PB_G=H*u. Note that although H relates child body B to parent body B, it is expressed in the ground frame G so the resulting cross-body velocity of B in P is also expressed in G. The supplied state must have been realized through Position stage because H varies with this mobilizer's generalized coordinates q.

Note that H and V here are expressed in the parent body's (inboard) frame F. The supplied state must have been realized through Position stage because H varies with this mobilizer's generalized coordinates q.

◆ addBodyDecoration() [1/2]

inline |
Convenience method to add DecorativeGeometry specified relative to the new (outboard) body's reference frame B.
This is equivalent to this->updBody().addDecoration(X_BD,geometry).

The MobilizedBody takes over ownership of the Motion object and is responsible for cleaning up its heap space when the time comes. This is a Topology-changing operation and consequently requires write access to the MobilizedBody which will propagate to invalidate the containing Subsystem and System's topology. There can only be one Motion object per mobilizer; this method will throw an exception if there is already one here.

Return the MobilizedBodyIndex of this MobilizedBody within the owning SimbodyMatterSubsystem.
This will fail unless this MobilizedBody is owned by some SimbodyMatterSubsystem. We guarantee that the MobilizedBodyIndex of a mobilized body is numerically larger than the MobilizedBodyIndex of its parent.
◆ getParentMobilizedBody()
| const MobilizedBody& SimTK::MobilizedBody::getParentMobilizedBody | ( | ) | const |
Return a reference to the MobilizedBody serving as the parent body of the current MobilizedBody.

◆ applyOneMobilityForce()
|
inline |
This utility adds in the supplied generalized force f (a scalar) to the appropriate slot of the supplied mobilityForces Vector, which is a "u-like" Vector.
Note that we are adding this not setting it so it important that mobilityForces be initialized to zero before making a set of calls to applyOneMobilityForce().
◆ convertQForceToUForce()
| void SimTK::MobilizedBody::convertQForceToUForce | ( | const State & | state, |
| const Array_< Real, MobilizerQIndex > & | fq, | ||
| Array_< Real, MobilizerUIndex > & | fu | ||
| ) | const |
Given a generalized force in the q-space of this mobilizer, convert it to the equivalent generalized mobility force (u-space force).
This uses the kinematic coupling matrix N that appears in equation (1) qdot=N*u. Here we compute (2) fu = ~N*fq (that's N transpose, not inverse).
Simbody deals with generalized forces in mobility (u) space, but sometimes these are more convenient to generate in generalized coordinate (q) space. In that case this utility method is useful to perform the conversion from q space to u space that is necessary for communicating the force to Simbody.
- Parameters
-
[in] state A State already realized through Position stage, from which this mobilizer's kinematic coupling matrix N(q) is obtained. [in] fq This is a generalized force in the space of the generalized coordinates q rather than the generalized speeds u. The length of fqmust be nq, the number of q's currently being used by this mobilizer in the givenstate. (This can depend on a Model-stage state variable.)[out] fu This is the generalized force in mobility space (the space of the generalized speeds u) that is equivalent to fq.fuwill be resized if necessary to length nu, the number of u's being used by this mobilizer.
Theory
The physical quantity power (force times velocity) must not change as a result of a change of coordinates. Hence we must have ~fq*qdot==~fu*u which follows from equations (1) and (2): multiply (1) by ~fq to get
~fq*qdot= ~fq*N*u
= ~(~N*fq)*u
= ~fu*u from equation (2).
For any mobilizer where qdot==u this simply copies the input to the output. Otherwise a multiplication by ~N is done, but that is very fast since N has already been computed. Cost depends on type of mobilizer but is unlikely to exceed 25 flops.
◆ applyBodyForce()
| void SimTK::MobilizedBody::applyBodyForce | ( | const State & | state, |
| const SpatialVec & | spatialForceInG, | ||
| Vector_< SpatialVec > & | bodyForcesInG | ||
| ) | const |
This utility adds in the supplied spatial force spatialForceInG (consisting of a torque vector, and a force vector to be applied at the current body's origin) to the appropriate slot of the supplied bodyForcesInG Vector.
Note that we are adding this not setting it so it is important that bodyForcesInG be initialized to zero before making a set of calls to applyBodyForce().
◆ applyBodyTorque()
| void SimTK::MobilizedBody::applyBodyTorque | ( | const State & | state, |
| const Vec3 & | torqueInG, | ||
| Vector_< SpatialVec > & | bodyForcesInG | ||
| ) | const |
This utility adds in the supplied pure torque torqueInG to the appropriate slot of the supplied bodyForcesInG Vector.
Note that we are adding this not setting it so it is important that bodyForcesInG be initialized to zero before making a set of calls to applyBodyTorque().
◆ applyForceToBodyPoint()
| void SimTK::MobilizedBody::applyForceToBodyPoint | ( | const State & | state, |
| const Vec3 & | pointInB, | ||
| const Vec3 & | forceInG, | ||
| Vector_< SpatialVec > & | bodyForcesInG | ||
| ) | const |
This utility adds in the supplied force forceInG applied at a point pointInB to the appropriate slot of the supplied bodyForcesInG Vector.
Notes:
- we are adding this not setting it so it is important that
bodyForcesInGbe initialized to zero before making a set of calls to applyForceToBodyPoint(). pointInBrepresents a fixed station of B and is provided by giving the vector from body B's origin to the point, expressed in the B frame, while the applied force (and resulting body forces and torques) are expressed in the ground frame.
