PxVehicleTireGripUpdate

Defined in include/vehicle2/tire/PxVehicleTireFunctions.h

void PxVehicleTireGripUpdate(const PxVehicleTireForceParams &tireForceParams, PxReal frictionCoefficient, bool isWheelOnGround, const PxVehicleSuspensionForce &suspensionForce, const PxVehicleTireSlipState &tireSlipState, PxVehicleTireGripState &tireGripState)

Compute the load and friction experienced by the tire.

Note

If the suspension cannot place the wheel on the ground the tire load and friction will be 0.0.

Parameters

  • tireForceParams – [in] describes the tire’s friction response to longitudinal lip angle and its load response.

  • frictionCoefficient – [in] describes the friction coefficient for the tire and road geometry pair.

  • isWheelOnGround – [in] defines whether the wheel touches the road geometry.

  • suspensionForce – [in] is the force that the suspension exerts on the sprung mass of the suspension.

  • tireSlipState – [in] is the tire longitudinal and lateral slip angles.

  • tireGripState – [out] is the computed load and friction experienced by the tire.
