LinkLengthConstraint

class LinkLengthConstraint(val body: Body, var compliance: Double = 0.0, var iterations: Int = 1) : Constraint(source)

A constraint that enforces the lengths of links between nodes within a Body.

The LinkLengthConstraint ensures that links connecting nodes in the Body adhere to their defined rest lengths. It computes corrections over a number of iterations to resolve any deviations in length while considering compliance, which introduces flexibility into the system.

Constructors

LinkLengthConstraint

constructor(body: Body, compliance: Double = 0.0, iterations: Int = 1)

Properties

the Body that this constraint operates on.

var compliance: Double

a parameter controlling the flexibility of the links. Higher compliance allows greater deviation from the rest lengths.

var iterations: Int

the number of iterations to refine the resolution of the constraint for each time step.

var restLengths: DoubleArray

Functions

open suspend override fun initialize()

open suspend override fun solve(body: Body, dt: Double)

Resolves constraints and updates the state of nodes within the given physical body over a time step.
