Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~AbstractTool()

virtual OpenSim::AbstractTool::~AbstractTool ( )

virtual

Destructor.

AbstractTool() [1/3]

OpenSim::AbstractTool::AbstractTool

(

)

Default constructor.

AbstractTool() [2/3]

OpenSim::AbstractTool::AbstractTool	(	const std::string &	aFileName,
		bool	aUpdateFromXMLNode = true
	)

Construct from file, and an optional GuiModel.

The object is constructed from the root element of the XML document. The type of object is the tag name of the XML root element.

Parameters

aFileName	File name of the document.
aUpdateFromXMLNode

AbstractTool() [3/3]

OpenSim::AbstractTool::AbstractTool

(

const AbstractTool &

aObject

)

Copy constructor.

Copy constructors for all SimulationTools only copy the non-XML variable members of the object; that is, the object's DOMnode and XMLDocument are not copied but set to NULL. This is because the object and all its derived classes need to establish the correct connection to the XML document nodes. Thus the object needs to reconstruct based on the XML document, not the values of the object's member variables.

There are three proper ways to generate an XML document for a AbstractTool:

1) Construction based on XML file (

See also

AbstractTool(const char *aFileName)). In this case, the XML document is created by parsing the XML file.

2) Construction by AbstractTool(const XMLDocument *aDocument). This constructor explicitly requests construction based on an XML document. In this way the proper connection between an object's node and the corresponding node within the XML document is established. This constructor is a copy constructor of sorts because all essential AbstractTool member variables should be held within the XML document. The advantage of this style of construction is that nodes within the XML document, such as comments that may not have any associated AbstractTool member variable, are preserved.

3) A call to generateXMLDocument(). This method generates an XML document for the AbstractTool from scratch. Only the essential document nodes are created (that is, nodes that correspond directly to member variables.).

Parameters

aObject

Object to be copied.

Member Function Documentation

addAnalysisSetToModel()

void OpenSim::AbstractTool::addAnalysisSetToModel

(

)

Adds Analysis objects from analysis set to model.

NOTE: Makes copies of analyses. Also, both this tool and the model have ownership of their analysis objects, therefore making a copy is necessary so a single analysis won't be deleted twice.

To avoid leaking when the tool is run from the GUI, pointers to the model's copy of the analyses are kept around so that they can be removed at the end of tool execution. _analysisCopies is used to do this book keeping.

addControllerSetToModel()

void OpenSim::AbstractTool::addControllerSetToModel

(

)

clone()

AbstractTool* OpenSim::AbstractTool::clone ( ) const

overridepure virtual

Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.

It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.

Implements OpenSim::Object.

Implemented in OpenSim::RRATool, OpenSim::CMCTool, OpenSim::ForwardTool, and OpenSim::AnalyzeTool.

createExternalLoads()

bool OpenSim::AbstractTool::createExternalLoads	(	const std::string &	externalLoadsFileName,
		Model &	model
	)

getAnalysisSet()

const AnalysisSet& OpenSim::AbstractTool::getAnalysisSet ( ) const

inline

getClassName()

static const std::string& OpenSim::AbstractTool::getClassName ( )

inlinestatic

This returns "AbstractTool".

See getConcreteClassName() if you want the class name of the underlying concrete object instead.

getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::AbstractTool::getConcreteClassName ( ) const

overridepure virtual

Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.

This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.
