PxArticulationTendonJoint

Defined in include/PxArticulationTendon.h

Inheritance Relationships

Base Type

• public PxBase (PxBase)

class PxArticulationTendonJoint : public PxBase

Defines a fixed-tendon joint on an articulation joint degree of freedom.

Public Functions

inline virtual ~PxArticulationTendonJoint()

virtual void setCoefficient(const PxArticulationAxis::Enum axis, const PxReal coefficient, const PxReal recipCoefficient) = 0

Sets the tendon joint coefficient.

See also

getCoefficient()

Note

RecipCoefficient is commonly expected to be 1/coefficient, but it can be set to different values to tune behavior; for example, zero can be used to have a joint axis only participate in the length computation of the tendon, but not have any tendon force applied to it.

Parameters

• axis – [in] The degree of freedom that the tendon joint operates on (must correspond to a degree of freedom of the associated link’s incoming joint).

• coefficient – [in] The scale that the axis’ joint position is multiplied by when summing up the fixed tendon’s length.

• recipCoefficient – [in] The scale that the tendon’s response is multiplied by when applying to this tendon joint.

virtual void getCoefficient(PxArticulationAxis::Enum &axis, PxReal &coefficient, PxReal &recipCoefficient) const = 0

Gets the tendon joint coefficient.

See also

setCoefficient()

Parameters

• axis – [out] The degree of freedom that the tendon joint operates on.

• coefficient – [out] The scale that the axis’ joint position is multiplied by when summing up the fixed tendon’s length.

• recipCoefficient – [in] The scale that the tendon’s response is multiplied by when applying to this tendon joint.

virtual PxArticulationLink *getLink() const = 0

Gets the articulation link.

Returns

The articulation link (and its incoming joint in particular) that this tendon joint is associated with.

virtual PxArticulationTendonJoint *getParent() const = 0

Gets the parent tendon joint.

Returns

The parent tendon joint.

virtual PxArticulationFixedTendon *getTendon() const = 0

Gets the tendon that the joint is a part of.

See also

PxArticulationFixedTendon

Returns

The tendon.

virtual void release() = 0

Releases a tendon joint.

See also

PxArticulationFixedTendon::createTendonJoint()

Note

Releasing a tendon joint is not allowed while the articulation is in a scene. In order to release the joint, remove and then re-add the articulation to the scene.

inline virtual const char *getConcreteTypeName() const

Returns the string name of the dynamic type.

Returns

The string name.

Set PxBaseFlag

Parameters

• flag – [in] The flag to be set

inline virtual bool isReleasable() const

Whether the object is subordinate.

A class is subordinate, if it can only be instantiated in the context of another class.
