Detailed Description

Link representing a brake between two rigid bodies, including the sticking effect. It could be used to represent also linear brakes. This constraint can behave also as a clutch.

void chrono::ChLinkBrake::UpdateTime

(

double

time

)

[virtual]

UPDATING PROCEDURES

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLinkLock.

void chrono::ChLinkBrake::UpdateForces

(

double

mytime

)

[virtual]

Inherits, and updates the C_force and C_torque 'intuitive' forces, adding the effects of the contained ChLinkForce objects. (Default: inherits parent UpdateForces(), then C_force and C_torque are incremented with the Link::ChLinkForces objects)

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLinkLock.

void chrono::ChLinkBrake::SetDisabled

(

bool

mdis

)

[virtual]

User can use this to enable/disable all the constraint of the link as desired.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLinkMasked.

void chrono::ChLinkBrake::StreamIN

(

ChStreamInBinary &

mstream

)

[virtual]

Method to allow deserializing a persistent binary archive (ex: a file) into transient data.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLinkLock.

void chrono::ChLinkBrake::StreamOUT

(

ChStreamOutBinary &

mstream

)

[virtual]

Method to allow serializing transient data into a persistent binary archive (ex: a file).

Reimplemented from chrono::ChLinkLock.
