virtual void SetUpperLimit ( const unsigned int  _index,
const double  _limit 
)
virtualinherited

Set the joint's upper limit.

For rotational axes, the value is in radians, for prismatic axes it is in meters.

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis, defaults to 0.
[in]_limitLower limit of the axis.

Reimplemented from Joint.

Reimplemented in ODEBallJoint, and ODEUniversalJoint.

void SetUpperLimit ( unsigned int  _index,
math::Angle  _limit 
)
inherited

: set the joint upper limit (replacee GetLowStop and GetHighStop)

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis.
[in]_limitUpper limit of the axis.
Deprecated:
See SetUpperLimit which takes double.
virtual void 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 Joint.

virtual void SetVelocityLimit ( unsigned int  _index,
double  _velocity 
)
virtualinherited

Set the velocity limit on a joint axis.

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis to set.
[in]_velocityVelocity limit for the axis.
bool SetVelocityMaximal ( unsigned int  _index,
double  _velocity 
)
protectedinherited

Helper function for maximal coordinate solver SetVelocity.

The velocity of the child link of this joint is updated relative to the current parent velocity. It currently does not act recursively.

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the joint axis (degree of freedom).
[in]_velocityVelocity to set at this joint.
Returns
returns true if operation succeeds, false if it fails.
void SetWorld ( const WorldPtr _newWorld)
inherited

Set the world this object belongs to.

This will also set the world for all children.

Parameters
[in]_newWorldThe new World this object is part of.
std::string TypeStr ( ) const
inherited

Get the string name for the entity type.

Returns
The string name for this entity.
virtual void UnregisterIntrospectionItems ( )
protectedvirtualinherited

Unregister items in the introspection service.

void Update ( )
virtualinherited

Update the joint.

Reimplemented from Base.

virtual void UpdateParameters ( sdf::ElementPtr  _sdf)
virtualinherited

Update the parameters using new sdf values.

Parameters
[in]_sdfSDF values to update from.

Reimplemented from Base.

virtual double UpperLimit ( const unsigned int  _index = 0) const
virtualinherited

Get the joint's upper limit.

For rotational axes, the value is in radians. For prismatic axes, it is in meters.

It returns ignition::math::NAN_D in case the limit can't be obtained. For instance, if the index is invalid, if the joint is fixed, etc.

Parameters
[in]_indexIndex of the axis, defaults to 0.
Returns
Lower limit of the axis.

Reimplemented in SimbodyJoint, DARTJoint, DARTScrewJoint, BulletBallJoint, BulletHinge2Joint, SimbodyBallJoint, BulletUniversalJoint, BulletHingeJoint, DARTBallJoint, ODEBallJoint, BulletSliderJoint, and SimbodyScrewJoint.

common::URI URI ( ) const
inherited

Return the common::URI of this entity.

The URI includes the world where the entity is contained and all the hierarchy of sub-entities that can compose this entity. E.g.: A link entity contains the name of the link and the model where the link is contained.

Returns
The URI of this entity.
void UseImplicitSpringDamper ( const bool  _implicit)
inherited

Set flag indicating whether implicit spring damper is enabled.

Parameters
[in]_implicitTrue if implicit spring damper is used.
bool UsesImplicitSpringDamper ( )
inherited

Get flag indicating whether implicit spring damper is enabled.

Returns
True if implicit spring damper is used.
ignition::math::Pose3d WorldPose ( ) const
inherited

Get pose of joint frame relative to world frame.

Note that the joint frame is defined with a fixed offset from the child link frame.

Returns
Pose of joint frame relative to world frame.

Member Data Documentation

LinkPtr anchorLink
protectedinherited

Anchor link.

ignition::math::Vector3d anchorPos
protectedinherited

Anchor pose.

This is the xyz position of the joint frame specified in the world frame.

ignition::math::Pose3d anchorPose
protectedinherited

Anchor pose specified in SDF <joint><pose> tag.

AnchorPose is the transform from child link frame to joint frame specified in the child link frame. AnchorPos is more relevant in normal usage, but sometimes, we do need this (e.g. GetForceTorque and joint visualization).
