Unigine::JointWheel Class

Header: #include <UniginePhysics.h>
Inherits from: Joint

This class is used to create ray-cast wheels. Both a frame and a wheel are rigid bodies. There is no need to assign a shape to the wheel: ray casting is used to detect collision of the wheel with a surface.

Example#

The following code illustrates connection of two rigid bodies (frame and wheel) using a wheel joint.

Source code (C++)
include <UniginePhysics.h>

/* .. */

JointWheelPtr joint = JointWheel::create(frame, wheel);

// setting joint anchor coordinates
joint->setWorldAnchor(wheel->getObject()->getWorldTransform() * Vec3(0.0f));

// setting joint axes coordinates
joint->setWorldAxis0(vec3(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f));
joint->setWorldAxis1(vec3(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f));

// setting linear damping and spring rigidity
joint->setLinearDamping(200.0f);
joint->setLinearSpring(100.0f);

// setting lower and upper suspension ride limits [-1.0; 0.0]
joint->setLinearLimitFrom(-1.0f);
joint->setLinearLimitTo(0.0f);

// setting target suspension height 
joint->setLinearDistance(0.5f);

// setting maximum angular velocity and torque
joint->setAngularVelocity(-20.0f);
joint->setAngularTorque(10.0f);

// setting wheel parameters
joint->setWheelRadius(0.5f);
joint->setWheelMass(4.0f);
joint->setWheelThreshold(0.1f);

// setting tyre friction parameters
joint->setTangentFriction(4.0f);
joint->setBinormalFriction(5.0f);

// setting number of iterations
joint->setNumIterations(8);
