Detailed Description

A decorator for a rigid body.

A rigid body particle describes a set of particles, known as the members, which move rigidly together. The rigid body is represented as an algebra::ReferenceFrame3D coupled with local coordinates (RigidMember::get_internal_coordinates()) for the members expressed in that reference frame. The global coordinates of the members are accessed, as with other global coordinates, via the XYZ::get_coordinates().

Since the members are simply a set of particles which move together they don't (necessarily) define a shape. For example, the members of the rigid body made from a molecular hierarchy would include particles corresponding to intermediate levels of the hierarchy. As a result, methods that use rigid bodies usually should simply take the list of particles they are interested in and then check for rigid bodies internally.

The initial reference of the rigid body is computed from the coordinates, masses and radii of the particles passed to the constructor, based on diagonalizing the inertial tensor (which is not stored, currently).

RigidBodies can be nested (that is, a RigidBody can have another RigidBody as a member). This can be useful for organizational reasons as well as for accelerating computations since operations are affected by the total number of children contained in the rigid body being operated on. Examples of this include collision detection where if you have multiple representations of geometry at different resolutions it is faster to put each of them in a separate rigid body and then create one rigid body containing all of them.

It is often desirable to randomize the orientation of a rigid body:

1 ## \example core/randomize_rigid_body.py
2 # This fragment shows how to either perturb or set the orientation of a rigid
3 # body randomly.
4 
5 import IMP.core
6 import IMP.algebra
7 import IMP
8 import sys
9 
10 IMP.setup_from_argv(sys.argv, "randomize rigid body")
11 
12 m = IMP.Model()
13 p = IMP.Particle(m)
16  IMP.algebra.get_unit_bounding_box_3d())
17 
18 # we don't yet have python code to generate a nearby rotation
20 transformation = IMP.algebra.Transformation3D(rotation, translation)
21 # Option 1:
22 # note, this overwrites the existing position
23 rbd.set_reference_frame(IMP.algebra.ReferenceFrame3D(transformation))
24 # Option 2:
25 # perturb the existing transformation
26 composed_tr = IMP.algebra.compose \
27  (rbd.get_reference_frame().get_transformation_to(),
28  transformation)
29 rbd.set_reference_frame(IMP.algebra.ReferenceFrame3D(composed_tr))
30 # Alternative to Option 2:
31 IMP.core.transform(rbd, transformation)
Note
The maintenance of the invariant is done by an associated IMP::Constraint. As a result, the state is only guaranteed to be correct either during model evaluation, or immediately following model evaluation before any particles have been changed.

Member Function Documentation

void IMP::core::RigidBody::add_member ( ParticleIndexAdaptor  p)

Add a proper member that moves rigidly with this rigid body, properly handling rigid bodies and XYZ particles. Add p to the list of members. If p is a valid RigidBody, it is added as a rigid body member, otherwise it is added as a point member (for which the rotation is not tracked). By default, p is considered a strictly rigid member, in that its local coordinates are not expected to change independently.

See Also
add_non_rigid_member
void IMP::core::RigidBody::add_non_rigid_member ( ParticleIndexAdaptor  p)

Add a non-rigid member, for which internal coordinates may change independently.

Note
Currently RigidBody non-rigid members are not handled properly.
void IMP::core::RigidBody::add_to_derivatives ( const algebra::Vector3D local_derivative,
const algebra::Vector3D local_location,
DerivativeAccumulator da 
)

Update the translational and rotational derivatives on the rigid body center of mass, using the Cartesian derivative vector at a speicified location (the point where the force is being applied).

Updates both the quaternion derivatives and the torque.

Parameters
local_derivativeThe derivative vector in local rigid body coordinates
local_locationThe location where the derivative is taken in local rigid body coordinates
daAccumulates the output derivative over the rigid body center of mass (translation and rotation torque, quaternion)
void IMP::core::RigidBody::add_to_derivatives ( const algebra::Vector3D local_derivative,
const algebra::Vector3D global_derivative,
const algebra::Vector3D local_location,
const algebra::Rotation3D rot_local_to_global,
DerivativeAccumulator da 
)

Faster version of the above, if all is cached.

Parameters
local_derivativeThe derivative vector in local rigid body coordinates
global_derivativeThe derivative vector in global coordinates
local_locationThe location where the derivative is taken in local rigid body coordinates
rot_local_to_globalRotation matrix from local rigid body to global coordinates
daAccumulates the output derivative over the rigid body center of mass (translation and rotation torque, quaternion)
void IMP::core::RigidBody::add_to_torque ( const algebra::Vector3D torque_local,
DerivativeAccumulator da 
)

Add torque to derivative table of this rigid body Note that this method does not update the quaternion derivatives, so should be used by optimizers that rely on torque only (e.g. BrownianDynamics)

Parameters
torque_localTorque vector in local reference frame, in units of kCal/Mol/Radian
daObject for accumulating derivatives

void IMP::core::RigidBody::set_is_rigid_member ( ParticleIndex  pi,
bool  tf 
)

Set whether a particular member is flagged as a rigid member or as a non-rigid member. This affects the way the rigid body updates the coordinates and / or reference frame of its members.

void IMP::core::RigidBody::set_reference_frame ( const IMP::algebra::ReferenceFrame3D tr)

Set the current reference frame.

All members of the rigid body will have their coordinates updated immediately.

See Also
IMP::core::transform(RigidBody,const algebra::Transformation3D&)
set_reference_frame_lazy()
void IMP::core::RigidBody::set_reference_frame_from_members ( const ParticleIndexes members)

Update the reference frame of the rigid body based on aligning the current global coordinates of the passed rigid body members onto their old local coordinates. Non-passed members are ignored.

This method is useful for updating the rigid body after new global coordinates were loaded for the members. The members are passed explicitly since, typically, some are desired to just move along with the newly loaded rigid body.

Note
This requires at least three members that are not colinear to work.
void IMP::core::RigidBody::set_reference_frame_lazy ( const IMP::algebra::ReferenceFrame3D tr)

Change the reference, delay updating the members until evaluate.
