Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Cable()

Cable::Cable	(	const string &	simObjectName,
		ISimObjectCreator *const	creator
	)

This constructor performs all initial setup for a point mass simobject. Reading in parameters, setting up communication interface i.e. output ports, input ports, and states, plus additional 'one time only' resource setup.

Parameters

[in]	simObjectName	-> The name of the simobject. Used primarily by superclass constructor
[in]	creator	-> Retrieve parameters. Register states, ports and shared resources

◆ computeSegmentForces()

void Cable::computeSegmentForces	(	const double	T,
		const double *	X,
		const double *	pA,
		const double *	pB,
		const double *	vA,
		const double *	vB,
		double *	FA,
		double *	FB
	)

Computes all forces acting on an element

Computes structural and environmental forces acting on an element i.e. the cable length between two cable nodes, and distributes the total force on the two nodes.

Parameters

[in]	T	-> current simulation time
[in]	X	-> current simulation state
[in]	pA	-> position of element A
[in]	pB	-> position of element B
[in]	vA	-> velocity of element A
[in]	vB	-> velocity of element B
[out]	FA	-> force on element A
[out]	FB	-> force on element B

◆ computeVirtualPoint()

void Cable::computeVirtualPoint	(	const double *const	target,
		const double *const	point,
		const double *const	targetVel,
		const double *const	pointVel,
		double *	virtualPoint,
		double *	virtualPointVel,
		double	residual,
		double	dResidual
	)

protected

Winch functionality is implemented by pulling the closest free node towards a virtual point rather than the actual endpoint.

Parameters

[in]	target	-> actual endpoint position
[in]	point	-> position of free node
[in]	targetVel	-> actual endpoint velocity
[in]	pointVel	-> velocity of free node
[in]	residual	-> free element length
[in]	dResidual	-> rate of change in free element length
[out]	virtualPoint	-> position of virtual point
[out]	virtualPointVel	-> velocity of virtual point

◆ InitialConditionSetup()

void Cable::InitialConditionSetup	(	const double	T,
		const double *const	currentIC,
		double *const	updatedIC,
		ISimObjectCreator *const	creator
	)

Sets initial conditions based on the value of input ports. Element positions of free nodes are equally distributed between endpoint positions. Element Velocity are linearly interpolated between endpoint velocity

Parameters

[in]	T	-> The time at the beginning of the simulation. Usually but not necessarily zero
[in]	currentIC	-> Array of initial conditions. If the value is QNAN, the value is not set yet and can be set by the SimObject, otherwise the value is set, and can not be changed. Trying to change an already set value will trigger an error
[in]	creator	-> Report back to creator if output port are not ready
[out]	updatedIC	-> Array of ONAN. Any initial condition that are ready to be set, should be written to this array.

◆ OdeFcn()

void Cable::OdeFcn	(	const double	T,
		const double *const	X,
		double *const	XDot,
		const bool	bIsMajorTimeStep
	)

Computes object derivatives as a function of time, states and input ports

Returns state derivatives. Velocity as derivative of position, external-force/mass and gravity as derivative of velocity. Adjusts position of not-free nodes.

Parameters

[in]	T	-> current simulation time
[in]	X	-> current simulation state
[out]	XDot	-> state derivatives
[in]	bIsMajorTimeStep	-> Is this a major time step?
