RotationalLockEquation Class

Locks the relative angle between two bodies. The constraint tries to keep the dot product between two vectors, local in each body, to zero. The local angle in body i is a parameter.

Constructor

RotationalLockEquation

(
  • bodyA
  • bodyB
  • [options]
)

Parameters:

  • bodyA Body
  • bodyB Body
  • [options] Object optional
    • [angle] Number optional

      Angle to add to the local vector in bodyA.

Methods

addToWlambda

(
  • deltalambda
)

Add constraint velocity to the bodies.

Parameters:

  • deltalambda Number

(
  • eps
)
Number

Compute the denominator part of the SPOOK equation: C = Ginv(M)G' + eps

Parameters:

Compute SPOOK parameters .a, .b and .epsilon according to the current parameters. See equations 9, 10 and 11 in the SPOOK notes.

Properties

bodyA

Body

First body participating in the constraint

bodyB

Body

Second body participating in the constraint

enabled

Boolean

Whether this equation is enabled or not. If true, it will be added to the solver.

G

Array

The Jacobian entry of this equation. 6 numbers, 3 per body (x,y,angle).

maxForce

Number

Max force to apply when solving.

minForce

Number

Minimum force to apply when solving.

multiplier

Number

The resulting constraint multiplier from the last solve. This is mostly equivalent to the force produced by the constraint.

needsUpdate

Boolean

Indicates if stiffness or relaxation was changed.

relativeVelocity

Number

Relative velocity.

relaxation

Number

The number of time steps needed to stabilize the constraint equation. Typically between 3 and 5 time steps.

stiffness

Number

The stiffness of this equation. Typically chosen to a large number (~1e7), but can be chosen somewhat freely to get a stable simulation.
