Public Attributes

PxReal mLatStiffX
 Tire lateral stiffness is a graph of tire load that has linear behavior near zero load and flattens at large loads. mLatStiffX describes the minimum normalized load (load/restLoad) that gives a flat lateral stiffness response to load.
PxReal mLatStiffY
 Tire lateral stiffness is a graph of tire load that has linear behavior near zero load and flattens at large loads. mLatStiffY describes the maximum possible value of lateralStiffness/restLoad that occurs when (load/restLoad)>= mLatStiffX.
PxReal mLongitudinalStiffnessPerUnitGravity
 Tire Longitudinal stiffness per unit gravitational acceleration.
PxReal mCamberStiffnessPerUnitGravity
 tire Tire camber stiffness per unity gravitational acceleration.
PxReal mFrictionVsSlipGraph [3][2]
 Graph of friction vs longitudinal slip with 3 points.
PxU32 mType
 Tire type denoting slicks, wets, snow, winter, summer, all-terrain, mud etc.

Member Data Documentation

tire Tire camber stiffness per unity gravitational acceleration.

Note:
Camber stiffness of the tire is calculated as gravitationalAcceleration*mCamberStiffnessPerUnitGravity

Camber force can be approximated as gravitationalAcceleration*mCamberStiffnessPerUnitGravity*camberAngle.

Specified in kilograms per radian.

Range: [0, PX_MAX_F32)

Graph of friction vs longitudinal slip with 3 points.

Note:
mFrictionVsSlipGraph[0][0] is always zero.

mFrictionVsSlipGraph[0][1] is the friction available at zero longitudinal slip.

mFrictionVsSlipGraph[1][0] is the value of longitudinal slip with maximum friction.

mFrictionVsSlipGraph[1][1] is the maximum friction.

mFrictionVsSlipGraph[2][0] is the end point of the graph.

mFrictionVsSlipGraph[2][1] is the value of friction for slips greater than mFrictionVsSlipGraph[2][0].

The friction value computed from the friction vs longitudinal slip graph is used to scale the friction value for the combination of material and tire type (PxVehicleDrivableSurfaceToTireFrictionPairs).

mFrictionVsSlipGraph[2][0] > mFrictionVsSlipGraph[1][0] > mFrictionVsSlipGraph[0][0]

mFrictionVsSlipGraph[1][1] is typically greater than mFrictionVsSlipGraph[0][1]

mFrictionVsSlipGraph[2][1] is typically smaller than mFrictionVsSlipGraph[1][1]

longitudinal slips > mFrictionVsSlipGraph[2][0] use friction multiplier mFrictionVsSlipGraph[2][1]

The final friction value used by the tire model is the value returned by PxVehicleDrivableSurfaceToTireFrictionPairs multiplied by the value computed from mFrictionVsSlipGraph.

PxVehicleDrivableSurfaceToTireFrictionPairs, PxVehicleComputeTireForce
Range: [0, PX_MAX_F32)

Tire lateral stiffness is a graph of tire load that has linear behavior near zero load and flattens at large loads. mLatStiffX describes the minimum normalized load (load/restLoad) that gives a flat lateral stiffness response to load.

Range: [0, PX_MAX_F32)

Tire lateral stiffness is a graph of tire load that has linear behavior near zero load and flattens at large loads. mLatStiffY describes the maximum possible value of lateralStiffness/restLoad that occurs when (load/restLoad)>= mLatStiffX.

Note:
If load/restLoad is greater than mLatStiffX then the lateral stiffness is mLatStiffY*restLoad.

If load/restLoad is less than mLatStiffX then the lateral stiffness is mLastStiffY*(load/mLatStiffX)

Lateral force can be approximated as lateralStiffness * lateralSlip.

Specified in per radian.

Range: [0, PX_MAX_F32)

Tire Longitudinal stiffness per unit gravitational acceleration.

Note:
Longitudinal stiffness of the tire is calculated as gravitationalAcceleration*mLongitudinalStiffnessPerUnitGravity.
