Detailed Description

A joint which behaves in a similar way to a ball and socket.

A spherical joint removes all linear degrees of freedom from two objects.

The position of the joint on each actor is specified by the origin of the body's joint frame.

A spherical joint may have a cone limit, to restrict the motion to within a certain range. In addition, the bodies may be projected together if the distance between them exceeds a given threshold.

Projection, drive and limits are activated by setting the appropriate flags on the joint.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PX_INLINE PxSphericalJoint::PxSphericalJoint	(	PxType	concreteType,
		PxBaseFlags	baseFlags
	)

inlineprotected

Constructor.

PX_INLINE PxSphericalJoint::PxSphericalJoint ( PxBaseFlags baseFlags )

inlineprotected

Deserialization constructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* PxSphericalJoint::getConcreteTypeName ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns string name of PxSphericalJoint, used for serialization.

Reimplemented from PxBase.

virtual PxJointLimitCone PxSphericalJoint::getLimitCone ( ) const

pure virtual

Set the limit cone.

If enabled, the limit cone will constrain the angular movement of the joint to lie within an elliptical cone.

Returns: the limit cone

See Also: PxJointLimitCone setLimit()

virtual PxReal PxSphericalJoint::getProjectionLinearTolerance ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the linear tolerance threshold for projection.

Returns: the linear tolerance threshold

See Also: setProjectionLinearTolerance()

virtual PxSphericalJointFlags PxSphericalJoint::getSphericalJointFlags ( void ) const

pure virtual

Get the flags specific to the Spherical Joint.

Returns: the joint flags

See Also: PxSphericalJoint::flags, PxSphericalJointFlag setFlag() setFlags()

virtual bool PxSphericalJoint::isKindOf ( const char * name ) const

inlineprotectedvirtual

Returns whether a given type name matches with the type of this instance.

Reimplemented from PxJoint.

References PxJoint::isKindOf().

virtual void PxSphericalJoint::setLimitCone ( const PxJointLimitCone & limit )

pure virtual

Get the limit cone.

Parameters

[in] limit the limit cone

See Also: PxJointLimitCone getLimit()

virtual void PxSphericalJoint::setProjectionLinearTolerance ( PxReal tolerance )

pure virtual

Set the linear tolerance threshold for projection. Projection is enabled if PxConstraintFlag::ePROJECTION is set for the joint.

If the joint separates by more than this distance along its locked degrees of freedom, the solver will move the bodies to close the distance.

Setting a very small tolerance may result in simulation jitter or other artifacts.

Sometimes it is not possible to project (for example when the joints form a cycle).

Range: [0, PX_MAX_F32)
Default: 1e10f

Parameters

[in] tolerance the linear tolerance threshold

See Also: getProjectionLinearTolerance() PxJoint::setConstraintFlags() PxConstraintFlag::ePROJECTION

virtual void PxSphericalJoint::setSphericalJointFlag	(	PxSphericalJointFlag::Enum	flag,
		bool	value
	)

pure virtual

Set a single flag specific to a Spherical Joint to true or false.

Parameters

[in]	flag	The flag to set or clear.
[in]	value	the value to which to set the flag

See Also: PxSphericalJointFlag, getFlags() setFlags()

virtual void PxSphericalJoint::setSphericalJointFlags ( PxSphericalJointFlags flags )

pure virtual

Set the flags specific to the Spherical Joint.

Default PxSphericalJointFlags(0)

Parameters

[in] flags The joint flags.
