Constructors

constructor

+ new GlueJoint(jointPossibilityA?: JointPossibility, jointPossibilityB?: JointPossibility): GlueJoint

Inherited from Joint.constructor

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:72

Either supply joint possibilities in constructor, or defer it and do it later with assign()

Parameters:

Name Type
jointPossibilityA? JointPossibility
jointPossibilityB? JointPossibility

Returns: GlueJoint

Properties

Protected Readonly destroyEventEmitter

• destroyEventEmitter: EventEmitter‹void› = new EventEmitter()

Inherited from Joint.destroyEventEmitter

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:72

Protected isDestroyed

• isDestroyed: boolean = false

Inherited from Joint.isDestroyed

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:71

Protected objectA

• objectA: PhysicalObject

Inherited from Joint.objectA

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:69

Protected objectB

• objectB: PhysicalObject

Inherited from Joint.objectB

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:70

Methods

_ensureAssigned

▸ _ensureAssigned(): void | never

Inherited from Joint._ensureAssigned

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:122

Returns: void | never

Protected _onObjectShapeChange

▸ _onObjectShapeChange(changedObject: PhysicalObject): void

Inherited from Joint._onObjectShapeChange

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:219

Method that is called when the shapes of one of the joined objects change. Can be overwritten in subclass.

Parameters:

Name Type
changedObject PhysicalObject

Returns: void

Protected _onObjectTransformsChange

▸ _onObjectTransformsChange(changedObject: PhysicalObject): void

Inherited from Joint._onObjectTransformsChange

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:211

Method that is called when the transforms of one of the joined objects change. Can be overwritten in subclass.

Parameters:

Name Type
changedObject PhysicalObject

Returns: void

assign

▸ assign(jointPossibilityA: JointPossibility, jointPossibilityB: JointPossibility): void

Inherited from Joint.assign

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:94

If the joint was created without specifying objects, this can be done later by using assign(). Joins the two objects together

Parameters:

Name Type
jointPossibilityA JointPossibility
jointPossibilityB JointPossibility

Returns: void

createTemporaryClone

▸ createTemporaryClone(): Joint

Inherited from Joint.createTemporaryClone

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:183

This method creates a new Joint with the two physicalObjects of this joint instance. This is useful for operations where you need a temporary joint to keep an assembly from falling apart (e.g. Joint.recreate).

Returns: Joint

the temporary joint

destroy

▸ destroy(): void | never

Inherited from Joint.destroy

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:158

Removes itself from the attached PhysicalObjects. The instance is invalid afterwards.

Returns: void | never

getDestroyEventEmitter

▸ getDestroyEventEmitter(): IPublicEventEmitterInterface‹void›

Inherited from Joint.getDestroyEventEmitter

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:86

Returns: IPublicEventEmitterInterface‹void›

getIsAssigned

▸ getIsAssigned(): boolean

Inherited from Joint.getIsAssigned

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:118

Returns: boolean

true, if the joint has been assigned to two objects

getOtherPhysicalObject

▸ getOtherPhysicalObject(thisPhysicalObject: PhysicalObject): PhysicalObject | never

Inherited from Joint.getOtherPhysicalObject

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:131

Convenience function to get the 'other' physical object that is connected to this joint

Parameters:

Name Type
thisPhysicalObject PhysicalObject

Returns: PhysicalObject | never

getPhysicalObjects

▸ getPhysicalObjects(): [PhysicalObject, PhysicalObject]

Inherited from Joint.getPhysicalObjects

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:146

Returns: [PhysicalObject, PhysicalObject]

isPhysicallyConnected

▸ isPhysicallyConnected(a?: any, b?: any): boolean

Inherited from Joint.isPhysicallyConnected

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:202

Determines whether a joint still makes sense. Override in subclass

Parameters:

Name Type
a? any
b? any

Returns: boolean

true, if both joined objects are still physically connected, false, if not

recreate

▸ recreate(): void

Inherited from Joint.recreate

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:194

This method creates a new instance of this joint while destroying the old instance. The new instance is created with the same parameters as this one. This is used in cases where the underlying data changes, but the references are still valid. E.g. an outline section moves between physicalObjects and the joint needs to be recreated with the new objects. However the referenced outline section is still valid.

Returns: void

Static canBeJoined

▸ canBeJoined(physicalObjectA: PhysicalObject, physicalObjectB: PhysicalObject): boolean

Inherited from Joint.canBeJoined

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:56

Determines whether two objects can be joined with this type of joint based on their current transforms. Use together with createFromPhysicalObjects Override in subclass.

Parameters:

Name Type
physicalObjectA PhysicalObject
physicalObjectB PhysicalObject

Returns: boolean

Static createFromPhysicalObjects

▸ createFromPhysicalObjects(physicalObjectA: PhysicalObject, physicalObjectB: PhysicalObject): [GlueJoint]

Overrides Joint.createFromPhysicalObjects

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/GlueJoint.ts:9

Parameters:

Name Type
physicalObjectA PhysicalObject
physicalObjectB PhysicalObject

Returns: [GlueJoint]

Static getJointsBetween

▸ getJointsBetween‹T›(plateA: Plate, plateB: Plate, type: Constructor‹T›): T[]

Inherited from Joint.getJointsBetween

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:11

Type parameters:

▪ T: Joint

Parameters:

Name Type
plateA Plate
plateB Plate
type Constructor‹T›

Returns: T[]

Static getRequiredPossibilities

▸ getRequiredPossibilities(): [JointPossibility, JointPossibility]

Inherited from Joint.getRequiredPossibilities

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:21

Defines the required JointPossibilities in order to instantiate this kind of Joint. Override in subclass.

Returns: [JointPossibility, JointPossibility]

an array with exactly two JointPossibility (sub)classes.

Static getSpansAcrossAssemblies

▸ getSpansAcrossAssemblies(): boolean

Inherited from Joint.getSpansAcrossAssemblies

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:65

Returns: boolean

whether joints of this class span across assemblies. In that case, physical objects will be linked with physics constraints rather than merging assemblies during joining

Static performPreJoinTransformation

▸ performPreJoinTransformation(jointPossibilityA: JointPossibility, jointPossibilityB: JointPossibility): void

Inherited from Joint.performPreJoinTransformation

Defined in src/model/data/Joints/Joints/Joint.ts:29

Translates the objects in order to make sure they can be joined. Override in subclass with actual translation logic.

Parameters:

Name Type
jointPossibilityA JointPossibility
jointPossibilityB JointPossibility

Returns: void
