Detailed Description

A prismatic joint permits relative translational movement between two bodies along an axis, but no relative rotational movement.

the axis on each body is defined as the line containing the origin of the joint frame and extending along the x-axis of that frame

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* PxPrismaticJoint::getConcreteTypeName (  )  const [inline, virtual]

returns string name of dynamic type.

Returns:
class name of most derived type of this object.

Reimplemented from PxSerializable.

virtual PxJointLimitPair PxPrismaticJoint::getLimit (  )  const [pure virtual]

gets the joint upper limit parameters.

See also:
PxJointLimit getLowerLimit()

virtual PxPrismaticJointFlags PxPrismaticJoint::getPrismaticJointFlags ( void   )  const [pure virtual]

Get the flags specific to the Prismatic Joint.

Returns:
the joint flags
See also:
PxPrismaticJoint::flags, PxPrismaticJointFlag setFlag() setFlags()

virtual PxReal PxPrismaticJoint::getProjectionAngularTolerance (  )  const [pure virtual]

Get the angular tolerance threshold for projection.

See also:
getProjectionAngularTolerance()

virtual PxReal PxPrismaticJoint::getProjectionLinearTolerance (  )  const [pure virtual]

Get the linear tolerance threshold for projection.

Returns:
the linear tolerance threshold in radians
See also:
setProjectionLinearTolerance()

virtual bool PxPrismaticJoint::isKindOf ( const char *  name  )  const [inline, protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from PxJoint.

References PxJoint::isKindOf().

virtual void PxPrismaticJoint::setLimit ( const PxJointLimitPair  )  [pure virtual]

sets the joint upper limit parameters.

See also:
PxJointLimit getLowerLimit()

virtual void PxPrismaticJoint::setPrismaticJointFlag ( PxPrismaticJointFlag::Enum  flag,
bool  value 
) [pure virtual]

Set a single flag specific to a Prismatic Joint to true or false.

Parameters:
[in] flag The flag to set or clear.
[in] value the value to which to set the flag
See also:
PxPrismaticJointFlag, getFlags() setFlags()

virtual void PxPrismaticJoint::setPrismaticJointFlags ( PxPrismaticJointFlags  flags  )  [pure virtual]

Set the flags specific to the Prismatic Joint.

Default PxPrismaticJointFlags(0)

Parameters:
[in] flags The joint flags.
See also:
PxPrismaticJointFlag setFlag() getFlags()

virtual void PxPrismaticJoint::setProjectionAngularTolerance ( PxReal  tolerance  )  [pure virtual]

Set the angular tolerance threshold for projection. Projection is enabled if PxConstraintFlag::ePROJECTION is set for the joint.

If the joint separates by more than this distance along its locked degrees of freedom, the solver will move the bodies to close the distance.

Setting a very small tolerance may result in simulation jitter or other artifacts.

Sometimes it is not possible to project (for example when the joints form a cycle).

Range: [0,inf)
Default: 1e10f

Parameters:
[in] tolerance the linear tolerance threshold
See also:
getProjectionLinearTolerance() PxJoint::setConstraintFlags()

virtual void PxPrismaticJoint::setProjectionLinearTolerance ( PxReal  tolerance  )  [pure virtual]

Set the linear tolerance threshold for projection.

If the joint separates by more than this distance along its locked degrees of freedom, the solver will move the bodies to close the distance.

Setting a very small tolerance may result in simulation jitter or other artifacts.

Sometimes it is not possible to project (for example when the joints form a cycle).

This value must be nonnegative.

Range: [0,inf)
Default: 1e10f

Parameters:
[in] tolerance the linear tolerance threshold

getProjectionLinearTolerance()
