Detailed Description

Parameters describing a single rigid link within an articulated actor.

Each link is a rigid body in the articulation's kinematic tree. Mirrors RigidActorParams for the per-link rigid-body properties (shape, mass, inertia, contact), and adds tree-structure fields (parentLink, parentJointFromLink). Pose and velocity at creation time come from the articulated body, not from per-link fields.

◆ operator==()

bool superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::operator== ( ArticulatedLinkParams const & ) const

default

Member Data Documentation

◆ boundaryElementType

ActorBoundaryElementType superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::boundaryElementType = ActorBoundaryElementType::Default

Finite element type for boundary discretization.

Note: Affects accuracy and performance of contact and boundary integrals.

Definition at line 230 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ boundarySubsampling

std::optional<BoundarySubsamplingParams> superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::boundarySubsampling

Optional subsampling for boundary integrals such as contact.

Note: Reduces computational cost by using fewer sample points.; For best performance, combine subsampling with boundaryElementType = ActorBoundaryElementType::P1Q1.

Definition at line 231 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ centerOfMass

std::optional<Real3> superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::centerOfMass

Position [m] of the center of mass in the link actor's local frame.

Note: If not set, computed automatically from geometry.; Usually combined with explicit momentOfInertia.

See also: momentOfInertia

Definition at line 228 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ colliderType

ColliderType superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::colliderType = ColliderType::Auto

Collision detection geometry.

Note: Determines how OTHER actors detect contact with this actor. It does not affect how this actor detects contact with other actors.

Definition at line 223 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ contact

ContactParams superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::contact

Contact mechanics parameters.

Definition at line 224 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ density

std::optional<real> superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::density

Uniform density [kg/m³] of the actor.

Must be positive if provided.

Note: Specify either density or mass, but not both.; If density is set, mass is computed automatically from volume (and vice versa).; If neither is set, kDefaultDensity is used.

See also: mass

Definition at line 226 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ hasGravity

bool superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::hasGravity = true

If true, the link actor will be affected by gravity.

See also: Scene::SetGravity

Definition at line 225 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ layer

DynamicString superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::layer

Contact layer name for filtering contacts between actors.

See also: Scene::EnableLayerContactAsymmetric, Scene::EnableLayerContactSymmetric, Scene::EnableActorContactAsymmetric, Scene::EnableActorContactSymmetric

Definition at line 222 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ mass

std::optional<real> superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::mass

Total mass [kg] of the actor.

Must be positive if provided.

Note: Specify either mass or density, but not both.; If mass is set, density is computed automatically from volume (and vice versa).

See also: density

Definition at line 227 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ momentOfInertia

std::optional<Real6> superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::momentOfInertia

Moment of inertia tensor [kg·m²] at the center of mass in the actor's local frame.

Stored as [ixx, ixy, ixz, iyy, iyz, izz] using negative tensor notation:

    [ixx, ixy, ixz]   [ +∫(y²+z²)dm,  -∫(xy)dm,    -∫(xz)dm    ]
I = [ixy, iyy, iyz] = [ -∫(xy)dm,     +∫(x²+z²)dm, -∫(yz)dm    ]
    [ixz, iyz, izz]   [ -∫(xz)dm,     -∫(yz)dm,    +∫(x²+y²)dm ]

Note: Uses negative tensor notation consistent with e.g. robotics URDF files.; Many CAD tools (e.g., Solidworks) use positive tensor notation requiring negation of off-diagonal terms. See https://www.mathworks.com/help/sm/ug/specify-custom-inertia.html.; Must be finite. A finite but physically invalid tensor (negative principal moments or one violating the triangle inequality) is accepted with a warning, not rejected.; If not set, computed automatically from geometry and density.; Usually combined with explicit centerOfMass.

See also: centerOfMass

Definition at line 229 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ name

DynamicString superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::name

Link local name.

Note: Must be unique among links of the same articulated actor. For soft-skinned actors, it must also not collide with nested soft actor local names.; Must not contain forward slash, backslash, or embedded NUL characters, which are reserved for hierarchy paths or incompatible with actor path formatting.; If left empty, a unique default name (e.g., "link_0", "link_1", ...) is assigned automatically.; In the scene the corresponding actor is named "articulatedActorName/linkLocalName". If the articulated actor name is empty, link actors use "unnamed_articulation/linkLocalName".

Definition at line 218 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ parentJointFromLink

TransformRT superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::parentJointFromLink

Rotation and translation of the link with respect to the parent joint.

Warning: The rotation must be identity. Non-identity rotations are not supported yet.

Definition at line 220 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ parentLink

int superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::parentLink = -1

Index of the parent link in ArticulatedActorParams::links, or -1 for the root.

Note: Links must be listed in parent-first order: parentLink < i for the i-th link.; The root link (index 0) must have parentLink == -1.

Definition at line 219 of file mochi_structs.h.

◆ shape

ShapeHandle superdex::ArticulatedLinkParams::shape

Shape handle defining the actor's geometry and other metadata.

Note: A shape can be shared by multiple actors, even actors in different scenes.; Dynamic links require a shape with a surface mesh when link contact is enabled. An articulated actor enables link contact when no skin shape is provided. A soft-skinned actor enables link contact when SoftSkinnedActorParams::enableCollidingLinks is true.
