Detailed Description

(Experimental – API will change – use at your own risk) Define an edge on each of two bodies, by providing an "edge frame" where the origin is the edge center, x axis is aligned with the edge, and z axis points in the "outward" direction away from the solid whose edge it is.

This constraint is only meaningful if the edges are not parallel and if the closest point of the lines containing the edges lies within both edges. This constraint will prevent interpenetration of the solids at the intersection of the lines containing the given edges, and provide for frictional forces when they are in contact. The resulting contact is parameterized by a coefficient of restitution for impacts in the plane normal direction, and by coefficients of friction for frictional forces in the plane containing the edges.

Member Function Documentation

◆ disable()

bool SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::disable ( State & state ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Disable the normal and friction constraints if they were enabled.

Return true if we actually had to disable something.

Implements SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ enable()

bool SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::enable ( State & state ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Enable the normal and friction constraints if they were disabled.

Return true if we actually had to enable something.

Implements SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ isEnabled()

bool SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::isEnabled ( const State & state ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Return true if this contact is enabled.

Implements SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ whereToDisplay()

Vec3 SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::whereToDisplay ( const State & state ) const

overridevirtual

This returns a point in the ground frame at which you might want to say the constraint is "located", for purposes of display only.

Implements SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ getPerr()

Real SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::getPerr ( const State & state ) const

overridevirtual

Return the position error for the contact constraint (usually a signed distance function).

You have to apply the sign convention to interpret this properly.

Implements SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ getVerr()

Real SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::getVerr ( const State & state ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Return the time derivative of the contact constraint position error.

You have to apply the sign convention to interpret this properly.

Implements SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ getAerr()

Real SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::getAerr ( const State & state ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Return the time derivative of the contact constraint velocity error.

You have to apply the sign convention to interpret this properly.

Implements SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ calcEffectiveCOR()

Real SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::calcEffectiveCOR	(	const State &	state,
		Real	defaultCaptureSpeed,
		Real	defaultMinCORSpeed,
		Real	impactSpeed
	)		const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the effective coefficient of restitution (COR) for this contact, given an impact speed (a nonnegative scalar).

For a given pair of contacting materials this is typically a function of just the impact speed, but it could also depend on the time and configuration in state, which should be realized through Stage::Position. The given default impact speed thresholds (also nonnegative) are used to calculate the COR unless this Contact overrides those.

Implements SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ hasFriction()

bool SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::hasFriction ( const State & state ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns true if there is a friction constraint associated with this contact constraint.

If so, calcEffectiveCOF() must be overridden.

Reimplemented from SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ getSlipVelocity()

Vec2 SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::getSlipVelocity ( const State & state ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Reimplemented from SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ calcEffectiveCOF()

Real SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::calcEffectiveCOF	(	const State &	state,
		Real	defaultTransitionSpeed,
		Real	slipSpeed
	)		const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the effective coefficient of friction mu for this contact, given a relative slip speed (a nonnegative scalar).

For a given pair of contacting materials this is typically a function of just the slip speed, but it could also depend on the time and configuration in state, which should be realized through Stage::Position. The given default slip-to-roll transition speed threshold (also nonnegative) is used to calculate mu unless this Contact overrides it with its own transition speed.

Reimplemented from SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ getContactMultiplierIndex()

MultiplierIndex SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::getContactMultiplierIndex ( const State & state ) const

overridevirtual

Return the multiplier index Simbody assigned for the unilateral contact constraint (for contact, this is the normal constraint).

If the constraint is not enabled, there is no multiplier and the returned index will be invalid.

Implements SimTK::UnilateralContact.

◆ getFrictionMultiplierIndices()

void SimTK::EdgeEdgeContact::getFrictionMultiplierIndices	(	const State &	state,
		MultiplierIndex &	ix_x,
		MultiplierIndex &	ix_y
	)		const

overridevirtual

If hasFriction(), this method returns the multipliers used for the x- and y-direction friction constraints.

If no friction, or if this constraint is disabled, the returned values are invalid.

Reimplemented from SimTK::UnilateralContact.
