default mobilizer pose

bool gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::isReversed

: if mobilizer, did it reverse parent&child? Set when we build the Simbody model.

SimTK::Force::MobilityLinearStop gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::limitForce[MAX_JOINT_AXIS]

: for enforcing joint stops Set when we build the Simbody model.

: Also, consider moving this into individual joint type subclass so we can specify custom dampers for special joints like ball joints. Assuming this is not used for BallJoints it's ok here for now.

SimTK::MobilizedBody gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::mobod

Use isValid() if we used a mobilizer Set when we build the Simbody model.

How this joint was modeled in the Simbody System. We used either a mobilizer or a constraint, but not both. The type of either one is the same as the joint type above.

bool gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::mustBreakLoopHere

Force Simbody to break a loop by using a weld constraint.

This flag is needed by SimbodyPhysics::MultibodyGraphMaker, so kept public.

bool gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::physicsInitialized
SimbodyPhysicsPtr gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::simbodyPhysics
protected

keep a pointer to the simbody physics engine for convenience

SimTK::Force::MobilityLinearSpring gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::spring[MAX_JOINT_AXIS]

: Spring force element for enforcing joint stiffness.

The element is assigned when constructing Simbody model in SimbodyPhysics::AddDynamicModelToSimbodySystem. : Also, consider moving this into individual joint type subclass so we can specify custom springs for special joints like ball joints.

SimTK::MultibodySystem* gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::world
protected

Simbody Multibody System.

SimTK::Transform gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::xCB

child body frame to mobilizer frame

SimTK::Transform gazebo::physics::SimbodyJoint::xPA

Normally A=F, B=M.

But if reversed, then B=F, A=M. parent body frame to mobilizer frame
