Unigine::JointSuspension Class

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

This class is used to create a suspension joint. The bodies that represent both a frame and a wheel need to be rigid bodies.

Example

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

Source code (UnigineScript)
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);
