getSensorData() | returns the accumulated readings and current polling status. |
incrementTimer(dtSim) | Advances the GFX polling window timer. |
Hooks
| Hook | Description |
|---|---|
init(data) | Initializes the mesh sensor instance. |
update(dtSim) | High-frequency loop that captures position, force, velocity, and mass for every node in the vehicle. Stores data in the tech_mesh extension cache. |
