YAML support for sinusoidal loads

[alvaro diaz]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible (or will be) to define a body load with a sinusoidal function type from a yaml, similar to chrono and pychrono. 

I have tried doing something similar using motors however, the fact that the motor application point is fixed (I think) stops me from getting the same results as if I was applying a sinusoidal body load in pychrono at the CG of a floating body.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Alvaro,

 

Please keep in mind that:

1. The YAML parsers are still work in progress.  As such, the API and YAML schemas are subject to change as I keep implementing the necessary support.
2. While the goal is to eventually allow specifying and using as many Chrono components and features as possible through these YAML specification files, I focus on the functionality that is currently needed for the project that funds this work.

 

Having said that, I just pushed some changes related to body loads and added support for specifying an optional modulation function. Note that this function must correspond to a type currently supported by the YAML schema (it just happens that the sine you’re interested in is among those supported).  For more details, see the YAML schema.

Hello Radu,

Thank you for the update to YAML module. I understand that it is still under development and I mean no push or rush, but rather verifying if what I say is correct or if I am missing alternative ways of doing it. In my workplace Chrono is gaining popularity through YAML implementation and I am trying to keep up to date. 

Kind regards,

Alvaro
