Detailed Description

This is the base class for actuators that apply controllable tension along a geometry path.

PathActuator has no states; the control is simply the tension to be applied along a geometry path (i.e. tensionable rope).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PathActuator()

OpenSim::PathActuator::PathActuator ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ addNewPathPoint()

void OpenSim::PathActuator::addNewPathPoint	(	const std::string &	proposedName,
		const PhysicalFrame &	aBody,
		const SimTK::Vec3 &	aPositionOnBody
	)

Note that this function does not maintain the State and so should be used only before a valid State is created.

◆ clone()

PathActuator* OpenSim::PathActuator::clone ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

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::ScalarActuator.

◆ computeActuation()

double OpenSim::PathActuator::computeActuation ( const SimTK::State & s ) const

overridevirtual

Implements OpenSim::ScalarActuator.

◆ computeForce()

virtual void OpenSim::PathActuator::computeForce	(	const SimTK::State &	state,
		SimTK::Vector_< SimTK::SpatialVec > &	bodyForces,
		SimTK::Vector &	generalizedForces
	)		const

overridevirtual

Subclasses must implement this method to compute the forces that should be applied to bodies and generalized speeds.

This is invoked by ForceAdapter to perform the force computation.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Force.

Reimplemented in OpenSim::Muscle, OpenSim::ActivationFiberLengthMuscle_Deprecated, and OpenSim::ActivationFiberLengthMuscle.

◆ computeMomentArm()

virtual double OpenSim::PathActuator::computeMomentArm	(	const SimTK::State &	s,
		Coordinate &	aCoord
	)		const

virtual

◆ computePathColor()

virtual SimTK::Vec3 OpenSim::PathActuator::computePathColor ( const SimTK::State & state ) const

protectedvirtual

Override this method if you would like to calculate a color for use when the PathActuator's path is displayed in the visualizer.

You do not have to invoke the base class ("Super") method, just replace it completely. This method will be invoked during realizeDynamics() so the supplied state has already been realized through Stage::Velocity and you can access time, position, and velocity dependent quantities. You must not attempt to realize the passed-in state any further since we are already in the middle of realizing here. Return SimTK::Vec3(SimTK::NaN) if you want to leave the color unchanged (that's what the base class implementation does).

Parameters

[in] state A SimTK::State already realized through Stage::Velocity. Do not attempt to realize it any further.

Returns: The desired color for the path as an RGB vector with each component ranging from 0 to 1, or NaN to indicate that the color should not be changed.

Reimplemented in OpenSim::Muscle, and OpenSim::ClutchedPathSpring.

◆ extendRealizeDynamics()

void OpenSim::PathActuator::extendRealizeDynamics ( const SimTK::State & state ) const

overrideprotectedvirtual

Extension of parent class method; derived classes may extend further.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::Component.

◆ get_GeometryPath()

const GeometryPath& OpenSim::PathActuator::get_GeometryPath ( ) const

inline

Get the value of the GeometryPath property.

◆ get_optimal_force()

const double& OpenSim::PathActuator::get_optimal_force ( ) const

inline

Get the value of the optimal_force property.

◆ getClassName()

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

inlinestatic

This returns "PathActuator".

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

◆ getConcreteClassName()

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

inlineoverridevirtual

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.

Implements OpenSim::ScalarActuator.

◆ getGeometryPath()

const GeometryPath& OpenSim::PathActuator::getGeometryPath ( ) const

inline

◆ getLength()

virtual double OpenSim::PathActuator::getLength ( const SimTK::State & s ) const

virtual

◆ getLengtheningSpeed()

virtual double OpenSim::PathActuator::getLengtheningSpeed ( const SimTK::State & s ) const

virtual

◆ getOptimalForce()

double OpenSim::PathActuator::getOptimalForce ( ) const

overridevirtual

Reimplemented from OpenSim::ScalarActuator.

◆ getPower()

double OpenSim::PathActuator::getPower ( const SimTK::State & s ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Reimplemented from OpenSim::ScalarActuator.

◆ getStress()

double OpenSim::PathActuator::getStress ( const SimTK::State & s ) const

overridevirtual

Reimplemented from OpenSim::ScalarActuator.

◆ hasGeometryPath()

bool OpenSim::PathActuator::hasGeometryPath ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

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 from OpenSim::Force.

◆ safeDownCast()

static PathActuator* OpenSim::PathActuator::safeDownCast ( OpenSim::Object * obj )

inlinestatic

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

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

◆ set_GeometryPath()

void OpenSim::PathActuator::set_GeometryPath ( const GeometryPath & value )

inline

Set the value of the GeometryPath property.

◆ set_optimal_force()

void OpenSim::PathActuator::set_optimal_force ( const double & value )

inline

Set the value of the optimal_force property.

◆ setOptimalForce()

void OpenSim::PathActuator::setOptimalForce ( double aOptimalForce )

◆ upd_GeometryPath()

GeometryPath& OpenSim::PathActuator::upd_GeometryPath ( )

inline

Get a writable reference to the GeometryPath property.

◆ upd_optimal_force()

double& OpenSim::PathActuator::upd_optimal_force ( )
