AcresImplementModel.h#
Acres/Source/Acres/AcresImplementModel.h Generated
Implement-soil interaction for the Maxxum's eight attachments (pure C++, no Unreal objects).
Cultivator, chisel plow, disc harrow, seed drill, mounted sprayer, front loader with bale fork, backhoe and the trailed square baler (Acres/Raw/farm-equipment). Every step turns the tractor's speed, PTO speed, the soil under the implement and the operator's controls into what the tractor feels: a wrench (force and moment) at the attachment point, PTO torque and power, hydraulic power, and the implement's mass and centre of mass. The soil forces come from soil mechanics (McKyes wedge, Godwin-Spoor tines, Godwin-Seig-Allott discs, Bekker rolling elements) rather than a draft table; the ASABE D497.7 table (AsabeD497Draft) is kept here as the validation reference.
AAcresVehiclePawn would call StepImplement once per physics step (120 Hz, physics thread) with FImplementInput and apply FImplementOutput::ExternalForceN / ExternalMomentNm at FImplementOutput::AttachPointM on the chassis, whose mass properties follow MassKg / ComM. The model owns the three-point hitch (position and draft control, gauge wheels, spring-trip tines) and every process state (seed, spray liquid, bales, bucket soil).
Frames and units: SI throughout. Tractor frame is FLU (X forward, Y left, Z up) with its origin on the ground below the rear axle, as in maxxum_150/mechanics.json. A three-point implement's own frame is the mechanics.json frame: origin on the ground below the lower hitch pins at zero lift, X forward, Z up; the parallel linkage translates it without rotation. Angles are radians except rig controls, which use the rig's degrees.
No Unreal types appear here, so the model builds and is tested without the engine (Tools/ImplementModel).

ImplementSoilPreset#
Soil preset values with sources (see Documentation/Modelling/implements.md for the table).
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
Preset |
Which soil. |
Returns: The soil; strength after McKyes (1985) typical tillage-layer values, Bekker constants after Wong (2008) Table 2.3 (Grenville loam, Thai clay 38 %, LETE sand).
ImplementSoilPresetId#
Short id of a soil preset ("dry_loam", "wet_silty_clay_loam", "sand").
ImplementSoilMoistDensity#
Moist (total) density of the soil, kg/m3: dry bulk density plus water, BulkDensityKgM3 + 1000 * WaterContent.
SoilWedgeForce#
Soil failure force on a blade or tine face (McKyes 1985; 3-D crescent of Godwin & Spoor 1977).
The failed wedge between the face (rake angle alpha from the horizontal, soil-metal friction delta) and a plane failure surface at angle beta carries weight, surcharge, cohesion, adhesion and the inertia of the soil it accelerates. Force equilibrium of the wedge gives P = (gamma d^2 N_gamma + c d N_c + c_a d N_ca + q d N_q + rho v^2 d N_a) w_eff, H = P sin(alpha + delta) + c_a d w cot(alpha), V = P cos(alpha + delta) - c_a d w, minimised over beta (golden-section search). With bCrescent the effective width is w + d (m - (m - 1) / 3), m = cot(alpha) + cot(beta) (Godwin & Spoor 1977, as used by Godwin & O'Dogherty 2007).
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
Soil |
Soil state. |
DepthM |
Working depth d, m (<= 0 gives zero force). |
WidthM |

SpeedMps |

SurchargePa |
Surcharge q on the soil surface ahead of the tool, Pa. |
bCrescent |
Add the Godwin-Spoor crescent side wedges (narrow tines); false for a plane-strain blade. |
Returns: Forces and factors; all zero when the depth or width is zero.
TineSoilForce#
Soil force on a tine (Godwin & Spoor 1977; McKyes & Ali 1977; Godwin & O'Dogherty 2007).
Above the critical depth the soil fails upward and forward in a crescent (SoilWedgeForce with bCrescent). Below it the soil flows round the tine in horizontal planes, resisted at depth z by w (c N_c' + gamma z N_q'), with deep-footing factors N_q' = exp(1.5 pi tan phi) tan^2(pi/4 + phi/2) and N_c' = (N_q' - 1) cot phi (a Prandtl-Reissner log spiral swept round a deep element, the form of Meyerhof's 1951 deep factors). The critical depth is where the crescent's force per unit depth first exceeds the lateral resistance, so each layer fails the cheaper way.
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
Soil |
Soil state. |
DepthM |
Tine working depth, m. |
WidthM |
Tine (point) width, m. |
RakeRad |

SpeedMps |

Returns: Tine forces; zero when the tine is out of the soil.
DiscSoilForce#
Soil forces on a concave disc (Godwin, Seig & Allott 1987 equivalent-blade method).
The concave face is an inclined blade in the vertical plane normal to the disc: its rake is 90 deg - tilt - the local concavity slope, and the McKyes wedge (plane strain) is integrated along the chord with the local depth of the circular segment (4-point Gauss). The resulting face force is normal to the disc in plan, so it splits into draft F sin(beta) and side force F cos(beta). Soil thrown by the face adds a momentum draft rho A_seg sin(beta) v^2 (1 - cos psi) with turning angle psi = beta + 2 eps (Soehne 1956 acceleration force). When the disc angle is below the rim clearance angle the convex back bears on the furrow wall (Terzaghi strip bearing on the intruding area). The sharpened rim cutting new soil along its leading arc carries a line pressure (cone index times the effective rim width): upward over the half-chord and against travel over the depth (Tice & Hendrick 1992).
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
Soil |
Soil state. |
Disc |

DepthM |
Depth of the lowest rim point below the surface, m. |
SpeedMps |
Forward speed, m/s (magnitude used). |
Returns: Disc forces; zero when out of the soil.
