Question about ChLoad with force and torque applied to a body

[Camille Chauvigné]

Hello,

During the update of our force model applied to a body to ChLoad class, we noticed the possility of using ChLoadBodyForce or ChLoadBodyTorque classes, which allow to apply force or a torque to a body, but not the possility to use a class which integrates both force and torque on a body (a ChLoadBodyForceTorque for example). Will such a class be available in future releases or it is not recommended to use such a class ?

Thank you in advance

Best regards,

Camille

Camille,

 

We could certainly add such a body load class, but it is also straightforward for you to implement your own by deriving from ChLoadCustom, exactly how we did for ChLoadBodyForce and ChLoadBodyTorque.

In fact, the comment at the top of ChLoadBody.h suggests preceisely that interested users can look at twhat’s already in there and use as template for their own customized loads.
