Problem of Bodies rotation

Hello,

I see 2 main options:
1) use RotationEngine
2) use a clump of facets instead of independent facets

cheers

Hi, I would support 2) for the sake of performance, but there's also
3) fix myRotation() since obviously imposing rigid body motion needs to
impose 'vel' too (spin*pos), not just 'angVel'.

Just a note, 3) and 1) does the same, either "automatically" (1) or "manually" (3)

Thanks for Jan Stránský (honzik) and Chareyre (bruno-chareyre-9) very much.
I tired the RotationEngine before using O.bodies[i].state.angVel . However, the speed I cound not change during simulation. The Code is as below:

O.engines = [
           。。。。。。
    RotationEngine(rotationAxis=(0, 0, 1), angularVelocity= velocity, rotateAroundZero=True, zeroPoint=(0, 0, 0))，
    PyRunner(comment= "ChangeVelocity()"....)
]

But the velocity can not changed. So I tried the third way. Yestoday night, I fund the function of RotationEngine in the KinematicEngines.cpp, I understand the Chareyre's advise that the velocity should be improved during the angleVelocity. I wirte the code now, But I meet a new problem, I can not find the function of AngleAxisr(). The code of RotationEngine is

void RotationEngine::apply(const vector<Body::id_t>& ids){
 if (ids.size()>0) {
  #ifdef YADE_OPENMP
  const long size=ids.size();
  #pragma omp parallel for schedule(static)
  for(long i=0; i<size; i++){
   const Body::id_t& id=ids[i];
  #else
  FOREACH(Body::id_t id,ids){
  #endif
   assert(id<(Body::id_t)scene->bodies->size());
   Body* b=Body::byId(id,scene).get();
   if(!b) continue;
   b->state->angVel+=rotationAxis*angularVelocity;
   if(rotateAroundZero){
    const Vector3r l=b->state->pos-zeroPoint;
    Quaternionr q(AngleAxisr(angularVelocity*scene->dt,rotationAxis));
    Vector3r newPos=q*l+zeroPoint;
    b->state->vel+=Vector3r(newPos-b->state->pos)/scene->dt;
   }
  }
 } else {
  LOG_WARN("The list of ids is empty! Can't move any body.");
 }
}

So I need to write the function AngleAxisr().
Thank you very much!!!!

Why?
Please always try to be specific. Did you get an error? What error? The velocity did not change? How did you investigate it? ...
###
RotationEngine(..., label="rotEngine")
...
def myRotation():
   rotEngine.angularVelocity = whatever
###

Concerning axis-angle, in Python Quaternion can be constructed directly from axis and angle:
C++: Quaternionr q(AngleAxisr(angularVelocity*scene->dt,rotationAxis));
Python: q = Quaternion(rotationAxis,angularVelocity*O.dt)

Thank you very much!! Jan Stránský
Now I have two problem

(1) for using RotationEngine, I hope the following code can change the direction of the plane by the PyRunner function ChangeVelocity, but it cannot, the value of Velocity can be changed, but the plane still Rotation as the initial speed and direction.

velocity = 10
def ChangeVelocity():
    global velocity
    velocity = -1 * velocity

O.engines = [
    ForceResetter(),
    InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(), Bo1_Facet_Aabb()]),
    InteractionLoop(
        # handle sphere+sphere and facet+sphere collisions
        [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom(), Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom()],
        [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
        [Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]),
        # [Ip2_ViscElMat_ViscElMat_ViscElPhys()],
        # [Law2_ScGeom_ViscElPhys_Basic()]),
    NewtonIntegrator(gravity=(-9.8, 0, 0), damping=0.001, label='down'),
    RotationEngine(rotationAxis=(0, 0, 1), angularVelocity=velocity, rotateAroundZero=True, zeroPoint=(0, 0, 0)),
    PyRunner(command="ChangeVelocity()", iterPeriod=100000)

    ]

(2) The problem of transform the C++ code of RotationEngine to python, I hope I can control the rotation velocity of the plane.

def myRotation():
    ZeroPos = Vector3(1, 1, 0)
    rotationAxis = Vector3(0, 0, 1)
    angVel = 10
    for i in IDGround:
        O.bodies[i].state.angVel += rotationAxis * angVel
        l = O.bodies[i].state.pos - ZeroPos
        q = Quaternion(AngleAxis(rotationAxis, angVel* O.dt))
        # q = Quaternion(rotationAxis, angVel * O.dt)
        newp = q*l + ZeroPos
        O.bodies[i].state.vel += (newp - O.bodies[i].state.pos)/O.dt

O.engines = [
    ForceResetter(),
    InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb(), Bo1_Facet_Aabb()]),
    InteractionLoop(
        # handle sphere+sphere and facet+sphere collisions
        [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom(), Ig2_Facet_Sphere_ScGeom()],
        [Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_FrictPhys()],
        [Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_CundallStrack()]),
        # [Ip2_ViscElMat_ViscElMat_ViscElPhys()],
        # [Law2_ScGeom_ViscElPhys_Basic()]),
    NewtonIntegrator(gravity=(-9.8, 0, 0), damping=0.001, label='down'),
    PyRunner(command="myRotation()",iterPeriod=400000)
    # RotationEngine(rotationAxis=(0, 0, 1), angularVelocity=velocity, rotateAroundZero=True, zeroPoint=(0, 0, 0)),
    # PyRunner(command="ChangeVelocity()", iterPeriod=100000)
    ]

    I can find the "AngleAxis", and the error is "name 'AngleAxis' is not defined". The above code is follow the C++ in the KinematicEngines.cpp. I don't know if the transform is correct or not.

 Please help me,Thank you very much,

Thanks Jan Stránský, that solved my question.
