AddTriangle()

bool chrono::collision::ChConvexDecompositionJR::AddTriangle ( const ChVector<> &  v1, const ChVector<> &  v2, const ChVector<> &  v3  )

virtual

Add a triangle, by passing three points for vertexes.

Note: the vertexes must be properly ordered (oriented triangle, normal pointing outside)

Implements chrono::collision::ChConvexDecomposition.

AddTriangleMesh()

bool chrono::collision::ChConvexDecompositionJR::AddTriangleMesh ( const geometry::ChTriangleMesh &  tm )

virtual

Add a triangle mesh soup, by passing an entire ChTriangleMesh object.

Note 1: the triangle mesh does not need connectivity information (a basic 'triangle soup' is enough) Note 2: all vertexes must be properly ordered (oriented triangles, normals pointing outside). Note 3: the triangles must define closed volumes (holes, gaps in edges, etc. may trouble the decomposition)

Reimplemented from chrono::collision::ChConvexDecomposition.

ComputeConvexDecomposition()

int chrono::collision::ChConvexDecompositionJR::ComputeConvexDecomposition ( )

virtual

Perform the convex decomposition.

This operation is time consuming, and it may take a while to complete. Quality of the results can depend a lot on the parameters. Also, meshes with triangles that are not well oriented (normals always pointing outside) or with gaps/holes, may give wrong results.

Implements chrono::collision::ChConvexDecomposition.

Reset()

void chrono::collision::ChConvexDecompositionJR::Reset ( void  )

virtual

Access directly the wrapped J.W.Ratcliff convex decomposition object although it shouldn't be necessary, since this class already provide wrapping to all the functions).

Reset the input mesh data

Implements chrono::collision::ChConvexDecomposition.

SetParameters()

void chrono::collision::ChConvexDecompositionJR::SetParameters	(	float	mskinWidth,
		unsigned int	mdecompositionDepth,
		unsigned int	mmaxHullVertices,
		float	mconcavityThresholdPercent,
		float	mmergeThresholdPercent,
		float	mvolumeSplitThresholdPercent,
		bool	museInitialIslandGeneration,
		bool	museIslandGeneration
	)

Set the parameters for this convex decomposition algorithm.

Use this function before calling ComputeConvexDecomposition().

Parameters

mskinWidth	Skin width on the convex hulls generated
mdecompositionDepth	Recursion depth for convex decomposition.
mmaxHullVertices	Maximum number of vertices in output convex hulls.
mconcavityThresholdPercent	The percentage of concavity allowed without causing a split to occur.
mmergeThresholdPercent	The percentage of volume difference allowed to merge two convex hulls.
mvolumeSplitThresholdPercent	The percentage of the total volume of the object above which splits
museInitialIslandGeneration	will still occur. Whether or not to perform initial island generation on the input mesh.
museIslandGeneration	Whether or not to perform island generation at each split. Currently disabled.

WriteConvexHullsAsWavefrontObj()

void chrono::collision::ChConvexDecompositionJR::WriteConvexHullsAsWavefrontObj ( ChStreamOutAscii &  mstream )

virtual

Save the computed convex hulls as a Wavefront file using the '.obj' fileformat, with each hull as a separate group.

May throw exceptions if file locked etc.
