Detailed Description

This path constraint enforces that the distance between the origins of pairs of model frames is kept between minimum and maximum bounds.

Frame pairs and their bounds are specified via a MocoFrameDistancConstraintPair. Any model component derived from Frame is valid to be included in a frame pair, and any number of frame pairs may be append to this constraint via addFramePair().

This constraint can be used as a simple method for preventing bodies in your model from intersecting during an optimization. For example, the following prevents feet from intersecting during a walking optimization:

distance = problem.addPathConstraint<MocoFrameDistanceConstraint>();
distance.setName("minimum_distance");
SimTK::Real inf = SimTK::Infinity;
distance.addFramePair('/bodyset/calcn_l', '/bodyset/calcn_r', 0.1, inf);
distance.addFramePair('/bodyset/toes_l', '/bodyset/toes_r', 0.1, inf);
distance.addFramePair('/bodyset/calcn_l', '/bodyset/toes_r', 0.1, inf);
distance.addFramePair('/bodyset/toes_l', '/bodyset/calcn_r', 0.1, inf);

To project the frame distance onto a vector or plane before ensuring its within the provided bounds, use setProjection() and setProjectionVector().

Note: This class represents a path constraint, not a model kinematic constraint. Therefore, there are no Lagrange multipliers or constraint forces associated with this constraint. The model's force elements (including actuators) must generate the forces necessary for satisfying this constraint.

void OpenSim::MocoFrameDistanceConstraint::clearProjectionVector ( )

inline

Unset the projection vector.

◆ clone()

MocoFrameDistanceConstraint * OpenSim::MocoFrameDistanceConstraint::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::MocoPathConstraint.

◆ getClassName()

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

inlinestatic

This returns "MocoFrameDistanceConstraint"

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

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string & OpenSim::MocoFrameDistanceConstraint::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.

◆ safeDownCast()

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

inlinestatic

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

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

◆ setProjection()

void OpenSim::MocoFrameDistanceConstraint::setProjection ( std::string projection )

inline

Set if each distance should be projected onto either a vector or plane.

Possible values: "none" (default), "vector", and "plane".

◆ setProjectionVector()

void OpenSim::MocoFrameDistanceConstraint::setProjectionVector ( SimTK::Vec3 vector )

inline

Set the vector to use for projecting each distance.

If the projection type is "vector", the distance is projected onto the vector provided here. If the projection type is "plane", the distance is projected onto the plane perpendicular to this vector.
