Member Function Documentation

◆ addAntiRollBarData()

PxU32 PxVehicleWheelsSimData::addAntiRollBarData ( const PxVehicleAntiRollBarData & antiRoll )

Set the anti-roll suspension for a pair of wheels.

Parameters

antiRoll is the anti-roll suspension.

Note: If an anti-roll bar has already been set for the same logical wheel pair (independent of wheel index order specified by PxVehicleAntiRollBar.mWheel0 and PxVehicleAntiRollBar.mWheel0) then the existing anti-roll bar is updated with a new stiffness parameter antiRoll.mStiffness.; If the wheel pair specified by antiRoll does not yet have an anti-roll bar then antiRoll is added to a list of anti-roll bars for the vehicle.

Returns: If antiRoll represents a new wheel pair then a unique id is assigned to the anti-roll bar and returned. If antiRoll represents an existing wheel pair then the unique id of the existing anti-roll bar is returned. The return value is always in range (0, getNbAntiRollBars()).

Note: The return value can be used to query the anti-roll bar with getAntiRollBarData(id).; The number of possible anti-roll bars is limited to half the wheel count.; An existing anti-roll bar can be disabled by calling antiRoll.mStiffness to zero.

◆ copy()

void PxVehicleWheelsSimData::copy	(	const PxVehicleWheelsSimData &	src,
		const PxU32	srcWheel,
		const PxU32	trgWheel
	)

Copy the data of a single wheel unit (wheel, suspension, tire) from srcWheel of src to trgWheel.

Parameters

[in]	src	is the data to be copied.
[in]	srcWheel	is the wheel whose data will be copied from src.
[in]	trgWheel	is the wheel that will be assigned the copied data.

◆ disableWheel()

void PxVehicleWheelsSimData::disableWheel ( const PxU32 wheel )

Disable a wheel so that zero suspension forces and zero tire forces are applied to the rigid body from this wheel.

Note: If the vehicle has a differential (PxVehicleNW/PxVehicle4W) then the differential (PxVehicleDifferentialNWData/PxVehicleDifferential4WData) needs to be configured so that no drive torque is delivered to the disabled wheel.; If the vehicle is of type PxVehicleNoDrive then zero drive torque must be applied to the disabled wheel.; For tanks (PxVehicleDriveTank) any drive torque that could be delivered to the wheel through the tank differential will be re-directed to the remaining enabled wheels.

See also: enableWheel; PxVehicleDifferentialNWData::setDrivenWheel; PxVehicleDifferential4WData::mFrontLeftRightSplit, PxVehicleDifferential4WData::mRearLeftRightSplit, PxVehicleDifferential4WData::mType; PxVehicleNoDrive::setDriveTorque; PxVehicle4WEnable3WTadpoleMode, PxVehicle4WEnable3WDeltaMode

Note: If a PxShape is associated with the disabled wheel then the association must be broken by calling setWheelShapeMapping(wheelId, -1).

See also: setWheelShapeMapping

Note: A wheel that is disabled must also simultaneously be given zero wheel rotation speed.

See also: PxVehicleWheelsDynData::setWheelRotationSpeed

Note: Care must be taken with the sprung mass supported by the remaining enabled wheels. Depending on the desired effect, the mass of the rigid body might need to be distributed among the remaining enabled wheels and suspensions.

Parameters

[in] wheel is the wheel index.

◆ enableWheel()

void PxVehicleWheelsSimData::enableWheel ( const PxU32 wheel )

Note: This function assumes that the suspensions equally share the load of the chassis mass.

See also: allocate

◆ setFlags()

[in] flags The flags to set (see PxVehicleWheelsSimFlags).

inline

◆ setMinLongSlipDenominator()

void PxVehicleWheelsSimData::setMinLongSlipDenominator ( const PxReal minLongSlipDenominator )

Set the minimum denominator used in the longitudinal slip calculation.

Note: The longitudinal slip has a theoretical value of (w*r - vz)/|vz|, where w is the angular speed of the wheel; r is the radius of the wheel; and vz is the component of rigid body velocity (computed at the wheel base) that lies along the longitudinal wheel direction. The term |vz| normalizes the slip, while preserving the sign of the longitudinal tire slip. The difficulty here is that when |vz| approaches zero the longitudinal slip approaches infinity. A solution to this problem is to replace the denominator (|vz|) with a value that never falls below a chosen threshold. The longitudinal slip is then calculated with (w*r - vz)/PxMax(|vz|, minLongSlipDenominator).; The default value is the equivalent of 4 metres per second after accounting for the length scale set in PxTolerancesScale.; Adjust this value upwards if a vehicle has difficulty coming to rest.; Decreasing the timestep (or increasing the number of sub-steps at low longitudinal speed with setSubStepCount) should allow stable stable behavior with smaller values of minLongSlipDenominator.

◆ setSceneQueryFilterData()

void PxVehicleWheelsSimData::setSceneQueryFilterData	(	const PxU32	suspId,
		const PxFilterData &	sqFilterData
	)

Set the scene query filter data that will be used for raycasts along the travel direction of the specified suspension. The default value is PxFilterData(0,0,0,0)

Parameters

suspId	is the wheel index
sqFilterData	is the raycast filter data for the suspension raycast.

See also: setWheelShapeMapping

◆ setSubStepCount()

void PxVehicleWheelsSimData::setSubStepCount	(	const PxReal	thresholdLongitudinalSpeed,
		const PxU32	lowForwardSpeedSubStepCount,
		const PxU32	highForwardSpeedSubStepCount
	)

Set the number of vehicle sub-steps that will be performed when the vehicle's longitudinal speed is below and above a threshold longitudinal speed.

Note: More sub-steps provides better stability but with greater computational cost.; Typically, vehicles require more sub-steps at very low forward speeds.; The threshold longitudinal speed has a default value that is the equivalent of 5 metres per second after accounting for the length scale set in PxTolerancesScale.; The sub-step count below the threshold longitudinal speed has a default of 3.; The sub-step count above the threshold longitudinal speed has a default of 1.; Each sub-step has time advancement equal to the time-step passed to PxVehicleUpdates divided by the number of required sub-steps.; The contact planes of the most recent suspension line raycast are reused across all sub-steps.; Each sub-step computes tire and suspension forces and then advances a velocity, angular velocity and transform.; At the end of all sub-steps the vehicle actor is given the velocity and angular velocity that would move the actor from its start transform prior to the first sub-step to the transform computed at the end of the last substep, assuming it doesn't collide with anything along the way in the next PhysX SDK update.; The global pose of the actor is left unchanged throughout the sub-steps.

Parameters

[in]	thresholdLongitudinalSpeed	is a threshold speed that is used to categorize vehicle speed as low speed or high speed.
[in]	lowForwardSpeedSubStepCount	is the number of sub-steps performed in PxVehicleUpates for vehicles that have longitudinal speed lower than thresholdLongitudinalSpeed.
