Parameters

[in] pose the joint pose in the child frame Default: the identity matrix

See Also: getChildPose()

virtual void PxArticulationJoint::setDamping ( PxReal damping )

pure virtual

set the damping of the joint acceleration spring

The acceleration generated by the spring drive is proportional to this value and the difference between the angular velocity of the joint and the target drive velocity.

Parameters

[in] damping the damping of the joint drive Range: [0, PX_MAX_F32)
Default: 0.0
