Unigine::JointSuspension Class
Header: | #include <UniginePhysics.h> |
Inherits from: | Joint |
Warning
This joint type is deprecated and will be removed in the upcoming releases. It is recommended to use the Wheel Joint instead.
This class is used to create a suspension joint. The bodies that represent both a frame and a wheel must be rigid bodies.
Example#
The following code illustrates connection of two rigid bodies (frame and wheel) using a suspension joint.
Source code (C++)
include <UniginePhysics.h>
/* .. */
JointSuspensionPtr joint = JointSuspension::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(2.0f);
joint->setLinearSpring(200.0f);
// setting lower and upper suspension ride limits [-0.5; 0.0]
joint->setLinearLimitFrom(-0.5f);
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 common joint constraint parameters
joint->setLinearRestitution(0.2f);
joint->setAngularRestitution(0.2f);
joint->setLinearSoftness(0.2f);
joint->setAngularSoftness(0.2f);
// setting number of iterations
joint->setNumIterations(8);
