Detailed Description

template<typename Quantity>
class SBDTypePhysicalVector3< Quantity >

Template Parameters
QuantityThe quantity type of the physical vector

This template class represents three-dimensional physical vectors, i.e. vectors whose components are physical quantities, and thus use SAMSON's unit system. In a physical vector (e.g. a position vector or a force vector), the three components have the same unit, and the SBDTypePhysicalVector3 template class is parameterized by only one type: Quantity.

Most of the time, developers of SAMSON Elements do not have to use this template, but may directly use some predefined types, e.g. SBVector3 (dimensionless three-dimensional vector), SBPosition3 (three-dimensional vectors with length dimensions), etc.

For example, if atomPointer is a pointer to an atom, then the atom's position is a SBPosition3 physical vector:

// translate the atom by 1.0 angstrom in the x direction
SBPosition3 p=atomPointer->getPosition();
atomPointer->setPosition(p);

Short name: SBPhysicalVector3

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator*()

template<typename Quantity>
template<typename QuantityB >
SBDTypePhysicalVector3< SBQuantityType<typename SBDQuantityUnitMultiplication< typename Quantity::UnitType, typename QuantityB::UnitType >::UnitType > > SBDTypePhysicalVector3< Quantity >::operator* ( const SBDTypePhysicalVector3< QuantityB > &  u) const
inline

This operator returns the component-wise product of this physical vector with physical vector u, i.e. a physical vector in which each component is the product of the corresponding components in this physical vector and physical vector u.

◆ operator/()

template<typename Quantity>
template<typename QuantityB >
SBDTypePhysicalVector3< SBQuantityType<typename SBDQuantityUnitDivision< typename Quantity::UnitType, typename QuantityB::UnitType >::UnitType > > SBDTypePhysicalVector3< Quantity >::operator/ ( const SBDTypePhysicalVector3< QuantityB > &  u) const
inline

This operator returns the component-wise division of this physical vector by physical vector u, i.e. a physical vector in which each component is the division of the corresponding components in this physical vector and physical vector u.

◆ updateMinMax()

template<typename Quantity>
template<typename QuantityLower , typename QuantityUpper >
void SBDTypePhysicalVector3< Quantity >::updateMinMax ( SBDTypePhysicalVector3< QuantityLower > &  lower,
SBDTypePhysicalVector3< QuantityUpper > &  upper 
) const
inline
Parameters
lowerThe lower bound
upperThe upper bound

If necessary, this function updates the lower and upper bounds to ensure that they contain this physical vector.
