Function Documentation

convertComplianceToElasticity()

AGXPHYSICS_EXPORT agx::Real agxUtil::convert::convertComplianceToElasticity

(

agx::Real

compliance

)

Converts compliance to elasticity. This is done by taking the inverse (elasticity = 1/compliance).

convertComplianceToSpringConstant()

AGXPHYSICS_EXPORT agx::Real agxUtil::convert::convertComplianceToSpringConstant

(

agx::Real

compliance

)

Converts spring constant to compliance. This is done by taking the inverse (springConstant = 1/compliance).

convertDampingCoefficientToSpookDamping()

AGXPHYSICS_EXPORT agx::Real agxUtil::convert::convertDampingCoefficientToSpookDamping	(	agx::Real	dampingCoefficient,
		agx::Real	springConstant
	)

Converts (viscous) damping coefficient to spook damping.

This is done by dividing them: spookDamping = dampingCoefficient / springConstant

Parameters

dampingCoefficient	- the damping coefficient (for linear dimensions, in force*time/distance; for rotational dimensions, in torque*time/radians).
springConstant	- the spring constant (for linear dimensions, in force/distance; for rotational dimensions, in torque/radians).

Return values

damping

as used in agx-constraints and contacts (in time)

convertElasticityToCompliance()

AGXPHYSICS_EXPORT agx::Real agxUtil::convert::convertElasticityToCompliance

(

agx::Real

elasticity

)

Converts elasticity to compliance. This is done by taking the inverse (compliance = 1/elasticity).

convertSpookDampingToDampingCoefficient()

AGXPHYSICS_EXPORT agx::Real agxUtil::convert::convertSpookDampingToDampingCoefficient	(	agx::Real	spookDamping,
		agx::Real	springConstant
	)

Converts spook damping to (viscous) damping coefficient .

This is done by multiplying them: dampingCoefficient = springConstant * spookDamping

Parameters

spookDamping	as used in agx-constraints and contacts (in time)
springConstant	- the spring constant (for linear dimensions, in force/distance; for rotational dimensions, in torque/radians).

Return values

dampingCoefficient

- the damping coefficient (for linear dimensions, in force*time/distance; for rotational dimensions, in torque*time/radians).

convertSpringConstantToCompliance()

AGXPHYSICS_EXPORT agx::Real agxUtil::convert::convertSpringConstantToCompliance

(

agx::Real

springConstant

)

Converts spring constant to compliance. This is done by taking the inverse (compliance = 1/springConstant).
