Function Documentation

◆ error_w_methods()

void error_w_methods ( MbsData mbs_data,
MbsDirdyn dd,
int  err 
)

If an error occurs during time integration, this function prints the error message and call finish_w_methods.

Parameters
mbs_dataThe computed MBS structure
mbs_ddThe associated MbsDirdyn structure
errThe error number

◆ finish_w_methods()

void finish_w_methods ( MbsData mbs_data,
MbsDirdyn mbs_dd 
)

Finalize and clear memory allocated for W Methods integrator.

Parameters
mbs_dataThe computed MBS structure
mbs_ddThe associated MbsDirdyn structure

◆ initialize_w_methods()

void initialize_w_methods ( MbsData mbs_data,
MbsDirdyn mbs_dd,
int(*)(double, double[], double[], MbsData *, MbsDirdyn *)  derivs,
void(*)(MbsData *, MbsDirdyn *)  loop_fct,
int(*)(MbsDirdyn *dd, MbsData *mbs_data)  save_realtime_update 
)

Initialize all needed fields in MbsDirdyn for W Methods integrator.

Parameters
mbs_dataThe computed MBS structure
mbs_ddThe associated MbsDirdyn structure
derivsThe function computing f'
loop_fctThe function to be called at the end of each time step, or waypoints.

◆ loop_w_methods()

int loop_w_methods ( double  t0,
double  tf,
MbsData mbs_data,
MbsDirdyn mbs_dd 
)

Integrate the motion from t0 to tf.

Parameters
t0The initial time
tfThe final time
mbs_dataThe computed MBS structure
mbs_ddThe associated MbsDirdyn structure
Returns
Error status, <0 in case of failure.
