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.
