OpenSim Properties, Sockets, Outputs, Inputs

Properties (single-value)
bool appliesForce
 "Flag indicating whether the force is applied or not. If true the force" "is applied to the MultibodySystem otherwise the force is not applied." "NOTE: Prior to OpenSim 4.0, this behavior was controlled by the " "'isDisabled' property, where 'true' meant that force was not being " "applied. Thus, if 'isDisabled' is true, then 'appliesForce` is false." More...

Detailed Description

This abstract class represents a force applied to bodies or generalized coordinates during a simulation.

Each subclass represents a different type of force. The actual force computation is done by a SimTK::Force, which is created by extendAddToSystem().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Force() [1/2]

OpenSim::Force::Force ( )
protected

Default constructor sets up Force-level properties; can only be called from a derived class constructor.

◆ Force() [2/2]

OpenSim::Force::Force ( SimTK::Xml::Element &  node)
inlineprotected

Deserialization from XML, necessary so that derived classes can (de)serialize.

Member Function Documentation

◆ appliesForce()

bool OpenSim::Force::appliesForce ( const SimTK::State &  s) const

Return if the Force is applied (or enabled) or not.

◆ applyForceToPoint()

void OpenSim::Force::applyForceToPoint ( const SimTK::State &  state,
const PhysicalFrame body,
const SimTK::Vec3 &  point,
const SimTK::Vec3 &  force,
SimTK::Vector_< SimTK::SpatialVec > &  bodyForces 
) const
protected

Apply a force at a particular point (a "station") on a given body.

Note that the point Vec3(0) is the body origin, not necessarily the center of mass whose location is maintained relative to the body origin. Although this applies a pure force to the given point, that will also result in a torque acting on the body when looking at the resultant at some other point.

This method may only be called from inside computeForce(). Invoking it at any other time will produce an exception.

Parameters
statestate used only to determine which element of bodyForces to modify
bodythe body to apply the force to
pointthe point at which to apply the force, specified in the body's frame
forcethe force to apply, specified in the inertial (ground) reference frame
bodyForcesthe set of system bodyForces to which this force is added

◆ applyGeneralizedForce()

void OpenSim::Force::applyGeneralizedForce ( const SimTK::State &  state,
const Coordinate coord,
double  force,
SimTK::Vector &  generalizedForces 
) const
protected

Apply a generalized force.

This method may only be called from inside computeForce(). Invoking it at any other time will produce an exception.

Parameters
statestate used only to determine which element of generalizedForces to modify
coordthe generalized coordinate to which the force should be applied
forcethe (scalar) force to apply
generalizedForcesthe set of system generalizedForces to which the force is to be added

◆ applyTorque()

void OpenSim::Force::applyTorque ( const SimTK::State &  state,
const PhysicalFrame body,
const SimTK::Vec3 &  torque,
SimTK::Vector_< SimTK::SpatialVec > &  bodyForces 
) const
protected

Apply a torque to a particular body.

This method may only be called from inside computeForce(). Invoking it at any other time will produce an exception.

Parameters
statestate used only to determine which element of bodyForces to modify
bodythe body to apply the force to
torquethe torque to apply, specified in the inertial frame
bodyForcesthe set of system bodyForces to which this force is added

◆ clone()

Force* OpenSim::Force::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::ModelComponent.

◆ computePotentialEnergy()

virtual double OpenSim::Force::computePotentialEnergy ( const SimTK::State &  state) const
protectedvirtual

Subclasses may optionally override this method to compute a contribution to the potential energy of the system.

The default implementation returns 0, which is appropriate for forces that do not contribute to potential energy.

Reimplemented in OpenSim::Muscle, OpenSim::Blankevoort1991Ligament, OpenSim::BushingForce, and OpenSim::CoordinateLimitForce.

◆ extendAddToSystem()

void OpenSim::Force::extendAddToSystem ( SimTK::MultibodySystem &  system) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Default is to create a ForceAdapter which is a SimTK::Force::Custom as the underlying computational component.

Subclasses override to employ other SimTK::Forces; be sure to invoke Force::extendAddToSystem() at the beginning of the overriding method.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Component.

Reimplemented in OpenSim::Muscle, OpenSim::SmoothSphereHalfSpaceForce, OpenSim::Ligament, and OpenSim::HuntCrossleyForce.

◆ extendInitStateFromProperties()

void OpenSim::Force::extendInitStateFromProperties ( SimTK::State &  state) const

Subclass should override; be sure to invoke Super::extendInitStateFromProperties() at the beginning of the overriding method.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Component.

Reimplemented in OpenSim::Muscle.

◆ extendSetPropertiesFromState()

void OpenSim::Force::extendSetPropertiesFromState ( const SimTK::State &  state)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Subclass should override; be sure to invoke Force::extendSetPropertiesFromState() at the beginning of the overriding method.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Component.

Reimplemented in OpenSim::Muscle.

◆ get_appliesForce()

const bool& OpenSim::Force::get_appliesForce ( ) const
inline

Get the value of the appliesForce property.

◆ getClassName()

static const std::string& OpenSim::Force::getClassName ( )
inlinestatic

This returns "Force".

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

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::Force::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.

◆ hasGeometryPath()

virtual bool OpenSim::Force::hasGeometryPath ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Return a flag indicating whether the Force is applied along a Path.

If you override this method to return true for a specific subclass, it must also implement the getGeometryPath() method.

Reimplemented in OpenSim::Ligament, and OpenSim::PathActuator.

◆ safeDownCast()

static Force* OpenSim::Force::safeDownCast ( OpenSim::Object obj)
inlinestatic

For use in MATLAB and Python to access the concrete class.

Example: cObj = Force.safeDownCast(obj). This is equivalent to dynamic_cast<Force*>(obj) in C++.

◆ set_appliesForce()

void OpenSim::Force::set_appliesForce ( const bool &  value)
inline

Set the value of the appliesForce property.

◆ setAppliesForce()

void OpenSim::Force::setAppliesForce ( SimTK::State &  s,
bool  applyForce 
) const

Set whether or not the Force is applied.

◆ shouldBeParallelized()

virtual bool OpenSim::Force::shouldBeParallelized ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Tell SimBody to parallelize this force.

Should be set to true for any forces that will take time to complete their calcForce method. Note that all forces that set this flag to false will be put in series on a thread that is running in parallel with other forces that marked this flag as true.

◆ upd_appliesForce()

bool& OpenSim::Force::upd_appliesForce ( )
inline

Get a writable reference to the appliesForce property.

◆ updateFromXMLNode()

void OpenSim::Force::updateFromXMLNode ( SimTK::Xml::Element &  node,

Handle a change in XML syntax for Sockets.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Component.

◆ appliesForce

bool OpenSim::Force::appliesForce

"Flag indicating whether the force is applied or not. If true the force" "is applied to the MultibodySystem otherwise the force is not applied." "NOTE: Prior to OpenSim 4.0, this behavior was controlled by the " "'isDisabled' property, where 'true' meant that force was not being " "applied. Thus, if 'isDisabled' is true, then 'appliesForce` is false."

This property appears in XML files under the tag <appliesForce>. This property was generated with the OpenSim_DECLARE_PROPERTY macro; see Property to learn about the property system.
