math::Vector3 gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::GetAnchor ( unsigned int  _index) const
virtual

Get the anchor point.

Reimplemented from gazebo::physics::BulletJoint.

virtual math::Angle gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::GetAngleImpl ( unsigned int  _index) const
virtual

Get the angle of an axis helper function.

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis.
Returns
Angle of the axis.

Implements gazebo::physics::Joint.

virtual math::Vector3 gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::GetAxis ( unsigned int  _index) const
virtual
virtual math::Vector3 gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::GetGlobalAxis ( unsigned int  _index) const
virtual

Get the axis of rotation in global cooridnate frame.

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis to get.
Returns
Axis value for the provided index.

Implements gazebo::physics::Joint.

virtual math::Angle gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::GetHighStop ( unsigned int  _index)
virtual

Get the high stop of an axis(index).

This function is replaced by GetUpperLimit(unsigned int). If you are interested in getting the value of dParamHiStop*, use GetAttribute(hi_stop, _index)

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis.
Returns
Angle of the high stop value.

Reimplemented from gazebo::physics::BulletJoint.

virtual math::Angle gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::GetLowStop ( unsigned int  _index)
virtual

Get the low stop of an axis(index).

This function is replaced by GetLowerLimit(unsigned int). If you are interested in getting the value of dParamHiStop*, use GetAttribute(hi_stop, _index)

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis.
Returns
Angle of the low stop value.

Reimplemented from gazebo::physics::BulletJoint.

virtual double gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::GetVelocity ( unsigned int  _index) const
virtual

Get the rotation rate of an axis(index)

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis.
Returns
The rotaional velocity of the joint axis.

Implements gazebo::physics::Joint.

virtual void gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::Init ( )
virtual

Initialize joint.

Reimplemented from gazebo::physics::BallJoint< BulletJoint >.

virtual void gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::Load ( sdf::ElementPtr  _sdf)
virtual

Load a BulletJoint.

Reimplemented from gazebo::physics::BulletJoint.

virtual void gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::SetAxis ( unsigned int  _index,
const math::Vector3 _axis 
)
virtual

Set the axis of rotation where axis is specified in local joint frame.

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis to set.
[in]_axisVector in local joint frame of axis direction (must have length greater than zero).

Implements gazebo::physics::Joint.

virtual void gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::SetForceImpl ( unsigned int  _index,
double  _force 
)
protectedvirtual

Set the force applied to this physics::Joint.

Note that the unit of force should be consistent with the rest of the simulation scales. Force is additive (multiple calls to SetForceImpl to the same joint in the same time step will accumulate forces on that Joint).

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis.
[in]_forceForce value. internal force, e.g. damping forces. This way, Joint::appliedForce keep track of external forces only.

Implements gazebo::physics::BulletJoint.

virtual bool gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::SetHighStop ( unsigned int  _index,
const math::Angle _angle 
)
virtual

Set the high stop of an axis(index).

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis.
[in]_angleHigh stop angle.

Reimplemented from gazebo::physics::Joint.

virtual bool gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::SetLowStop ( unsigned int  _index,
const math::Angle _angle

virtual

Set the low stop of an axis(index).

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis.
[in]_angleLow stop angle.

Reimplemented from gazebo::physics::Joint.

virtual void gazebo::physics::BulletBallJoint::SetVelocity ( unsigned int  _index,
double  _vel 
)
virtual

Set the velocity of an axis(index).

In ODE and Bullet, the SetVelocityMaximal function is used to set the velocity of the child link relative to the parent. In Simbody and DART, this function updates the velocity state, which has a recursive effect on the rest of the chain.

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis.
[in]_velVelocity.

Implements gazebo::physics::Joint.
