This is a base class for solvers that use direct collocation to convert an optimal control problem into a generic nonlinear programming problem.
The best resource for learning about direct collocation is the Betts textbook:
Betts, John T. Practical methods for optimal control and estimation using nonlinear programming. Vol. 19. Siam, 2010.
The transcription_scheme
setting allows you to choose between 'trapezoidal' and 'hermite-simpson' transcription schemes. The 'trapezoidal' option replaces the dynamics differential constraints with finite differences based on trapezoidal rule integration. The 'hermite-simpson' option uses a Hermite interpolant and Simpson integration to construct the finite differences. The 'hermite-simpson' option uses the separated Hermite-Simpson transcription approach, which allows control values at mesh interval midpoints to be free variables (see Betts textbook for more details). The setting interpolate_control_midpoints
constrains control midpoint variables to be linearly interpolated from the mesh interval endpoint values (default and recommended setting). If solving problems including model kinematic constraints, the 'hermite-simpson' option is required (see Kinematic constraints section below).
For Hermite-Simpson transcription, the direct collocation solvers enforce the path constraints (e.g., MocoPathConstraint) at only the mesh interval endpoints (not midpoints), but control signal variables exist at both mesh interval endpoints and midpoints. Keep this in mind when using path constraints on controls (e.g., MocoControlBoundConstraint). If interpolate_control_midpoints
is false, the values of a control at midpoints may differ greatly from the values at mesh interval endpoints.
The multibody_dynamics_mode
setting allows you to choose between expressing multibody dynamics as explicit differential equations (e.g., \( \dot{y} = f(y) \)) or implicit differential equations (e.g., \( 0 = f(y, \dot{y}) \), or inverse dynamics). Whether auxiliary dynamics (e.g., muscle fiber and activation dynamics) are implicit or explicit depends on the model component implementing those dynamics.
All holonomic kinematic constraints included as OpenSim model constraints are supported. Both the 'trapezoidal' and 'hermite-simpson' transcription schemes support kinematic constraints, but the 'hermite-transcription' scheme handles kinematic constraints much more robustly; in practice, the 'trapezoidal' scheme is not used for models with kinematic constraints. Kinematic constraints are automatically detected if present in the model and are converted to path constraints in the optimal control problem based on the method presented in Posa et al. 2016, 'Optimization and stabilization of trajectories for constrained dynamical systems'; see Kinematic constraints. The minimize_lagrange_multipliers
and lagrange_multiplier_weight
settings allow you to enable and set the weight for the minimization of all Lagrange multipliers associated with kinematic constraints in the problem. The velocity_correction_bounds
setting allows you to set the bounds on the velocity correction variables that project state variables onto the constraint manifold when necessary to properly enforce defect constraints (see Posa et al. 2016 for details).

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::MocoSolver.
Implemented in OpenSim::MocoCasADiSolver, and OpenSim::MocoTropterSolver.

This returns "MocoDirectCollocationSolver"
See getConcreteClassName() if you want the class name of the underlying concrete object instead.
|
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.
Implements OpenSim::MocoSolver.
Implemented in OpenSim::MocoCasADiSolver, and OpenSim::MocoTropterSolver.

For use in MATLAB and Python to access the concrete class.
Example: cObj = MocoDirectCollocationSolver.safeDownCast(obj)
. This is equivalent to dynamic_cast<MocoDirectCollocationSolver*>(obj)
in C++.
