ie the bodies are glued together.

Public Functions

inline virtual const char *getConcreteTypeName() const

Returns string name of PxFixedJoint, used for serialization.

virtual void setActors(PxRigidActor *actor0, PxRigidActor *actor1) = 0

Set the actors for this joint.

An actor may be NULL to indicate the world frame. At most one of the actors may be NULL.

getActors()

Parameters

• actor0 – [in] the first actor.

• actor1 – [in] the second actor

virtual void getActors(PxRigidActor *&actor0, PxRigidActor *&actor1) const = 0

Get the actors for this joint.

See also

setActors()

Parameters

• actor0 – [out] the first actor.

• actor1 – [out] the second actor

virtual void setLocalPose(PxJointActorIndex::Enum actor, const PxTransform &localPose) = 0

Set the joint local pose for an actor.

This is the relative pose which locates the joint frame relative to the actor.

See also

getLocalPose()

Parameters

• actor – [in] 0 for the first actor, 1 for the second actor.

• localPose – [in] the local pose for the actor this joint

virtual PxTransform getLocalPose(PxJointActorIndex::Enum actor) const = 0

get the joint local pose for an actor.

return the local pose for this joint

See also

setLocalPose()

Parameters

actor – [in] 0 for the first actor, 1 for the second actor.

virtual PxTransform getRelativeTransform() const = 0

get the relative pose for this joint

This function returns the pose of the joint frame of actor1 relative to actor0

virtual PxVec3 getRelativeLinearVelocity() const = 0

get the relative linear velocity of the joint

This function returns the linear velocity of the origin of the constraint frame of actor1, relative to the origin of the constraint frame of actor0. The value is returned in the constraint frame of actor0

virtual PxVec3 getRelativeAngularVelocity() const = 0

get the relative angular velocity of the joint

This function returns the angular velocity of actor1 relative to actor0. The value is returned in the constraint frame of actor0

virtual void setBreakForce(PxReal force, PxReal torque) = 0

set the break force for this joint.

if the constraint force or torque on the joint exceeds the specified values, the joint will break, at which point it will not constrain the two actors and the flag PxConstraintFlag::eBROKEN will be set. The force and torque are measured in the joint frame of the first actor

Parameters

• force – [in] the maximum force the joint can apply before breaking

• torque – [in] the maximum torque the joint can apply before breaking

virtual void getBreakForce(PxReal &force, PxReal &torque) const = 0

get the break force for this joint.

See also

setBreakForce()

Parameters

• force – [out] the maximum force the joint can apply before breaking

• torque – [out] the maximum torque the joint can apply before breaking
