+ Here is the call graph for this function:

void VortexAnimatSim::Environment::VsConstraintRelaxation::Initialize ( )
virtual

Initializes this object.

After an object is loaded in it must be initialized before it can be used. This allows the object to retrieve any pointers or setup memory that it will need during execution. Each object is responsible for initializing any of its child objects, so you simply need to call this method on the containing class to init all child objects. It also calls VerifySystemPointers to make sure that the system pointers have been setup correctly.

float VortexAnimatSim::Environment::VsConstraintRelaxation::Loss ( )
virtual

Gets the primary linear slip value.

Contact slip allows a tangential loss at the contact position to be defined. For example, this is a useful parameter to set for the interaction between a cylindrical wheel and a terrain where, without a minimum amount of slip, the vehicle would have a hard time turning.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

bool VortexAnimatSim::Environment::VsConstraintRelaxation::SetData ( const std::string &  strDataType,
const std::string &  strValue,
bool  bThrowError = true 
)
virtual

Set a variable based on a string data type name.

This is a generic method that can be used to set any variable in an AnimatBase object by specifying the name of the variable and a string representation of that data. The GUI uses this method to set data into variables in the simulation when the user changes them in the UI. The value string can be as simple as a float or int, or as complex as an xml packet. It is the developers responsibilty to know what type of data is needed and to process it accordingly.

Parameters
strDataTypestring name of the data type to set.
strValueThe string value of the data. It is up to the developer to determine what this should be. For example, in most cases it is simply a float and you just have to convert it to a float and make the appropriate mutator method call. However, it can be any type of string, including an entire xml packet. It is the developers responsibility to know how to set and process the data as required.
bThrowErrortrue to throw error if there is a problem. If false then it will not return an error, just return false.
Returns
true if it succeeds, false if it fails.
