Detailed Description

BaseSpecies is the class from which all other species are derived.

A base species is almost empty, with the exception of a pointer to the particleHandler. All other properties get added in the inherited classes. See Species for more details.

Member Function Documentation

Mdouble BaseSpecies::average	(	Mdouble	a,
		Mdouble	b
	)

defines the average of two variables by the harmonic mean.

Defines the average of two variables by the harmonic mean. This function is used to define default mixed species.

Parameters

[in] a,b The two variables you want to average

Returns: The harmonic mean of a and b, $\frac{2}{1/a+1/b}$

virtual BaseSpecies* BaseSpecies::copy ( ) const

pure virtual

Creates a deep copy of the object from which it is called.

Creates a deep copy of the Species, or MixedSpecies from which it is called. As this depends on the template parameters of Species, the definition of this function is in the Species class. It is defined as a virtual function here to allow the function to be called from a BaseSpecies pointer (which is the kind of pointer used for MixedSpecies).

To create a copy of a MixedSpecies, use

BaseSpecies* mixedSpecies->copy();

To create a copy of a Species, use

ParticleSpecies* species->copy();

Implemented in Species< NormalForceSpecies, FrictionForceSpecies, AdhesiveForceSpecies >, and ParticleSpecies.

SpeciesHandler * BaseSpecies::getHandler ( ) const

Returns the pointer to the handler to which this species belongs.

Returns: the pointer to the handler to which this species belongs.

virtual Mdouble BaseSpecies::getInteractionDistance ( ) const

pure virtual

returns the largest separation distance at which adhesive short-range forces can occur.

returns the largest separation distance (negative overlap) at which (adhesive) short-range forces can occur (needed for contact detection). Defined in each of the AdhesiveForceSpecies It is defined as a virtual function here to allow the function to be called from a BaseSpecies pointer (which is the kind of pointer used for MixedSpecies).

Implemented in Species< NormalForceSpecies, FrictionForceSpecies, AdhesiveForceSpecies >, BondedSpecies, ChargedBondedSpecies, LiquidBridgeWilletSpecies, LiquidMigrationWilletSpecies, ParhamiMcMeekingSinterSpecies, ReversibleAdhesiveSpecies, and EmptyAdhesiveSpecies.

virtual BaseInteraction* BaseSpecies::getNewInteraction	(	BaseInteractable *	P,
		BaseInteractable *	I,
		Mdouble	timeStamp
	)		const

pure virtual

returns new Interaction object.

As each Species has its own Interaction type, getNewInteraction can be used to access the right type of Interaction It is defined as a virtual function here to allow the function to be called from a BaseSpecies pointer (which is the kind of pointer used for MixedSpecies).

Implemented in Species< NormalForceSpecies, FrictionForceSpecies, AdhesiveForceSpecies >.

virtual bool BaseSpecies::getUseAngularDOFs ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if torques (i.e. angular degrees of freedom) have to be calculated.

returns true if torques have to be calculated. This is currently only true if a tangential force is applied, but can be true for non-spherical objects even if no tangential force is applied . Defined in FrictionForceSpecies. It is defined as a virtual function here to allow the function to be called from a BaseSpecies pointer (which is the kind of pointer used for MixedSpecies).

Implemented in Species< NormalForceSpecies, FrictionForceSpecies, AdhesiveForceSpecies >, MindlinSpecies, SlidingFrictionSpecies, EmptyFrictionSpecies, FrictionSpecies, and MindlinRollingTorsionSpecies.

virtual void BaseSpecies::mixAll	(	BaseSpecies *const	S,
		BaseSpecies *const	T
	)

pure virtual

creates default values for mixed species

returns the largest separation distance (negative overlap) at which (adhesive) short-range forces can occur (needed for contact detection). Defined in each of the AdhesiveForceSpecies It is defined as a virtual function here to allow the function to be called from a BaseSpecies pointer (which is the kind of pointer used for MixedSpecies).

Implemented in Species< NormalForceSpecies, FrictionForceSpecies, AdhesiveForceSpecies >.

void BaseSpecies::setHandler ( SpeciesHandler * handler )

Sets the pointer to the handler to which this species belongs.

Parameters

[in] the pointer to the handler to which this species belongs.
