Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChSurfaceNurbs()

chrono::geometry::ChSurfaceNurbs::ChSurfaceNurbs ( int  morder_u,
int  morder_v,
ChMatrixDynamic< ChVector<>> &  mpoints,
ChVectorDynamic<> *  mknots_u = 0,
ChVectorDynamic<> *  mknots_v = 0,
ChMatrixDynamic<> *  weights = 0 
)

Constructor from a given array of control points.

Input data is copied. If the knots are not provided, a uniformly spaced knot vector is made. If the weights are not provided, a constant weight vector is made.

Parameters
morder_uorder pu: 1= linear, 2=quadratic, etc.
morder_vorder pv: 1= linear, 2=quadratic, etc.
mpointscontrol points, size nuxnv. Required: nu at least pu+1, same for v
mknots_uknots, size ku. Required ku=nu+pu+1. If not provided, initialized to uniform.
mknots_vknots, size kv. Required ku=nu+pu+1. If not provided, initialized to uniform.
weightsweights, size nuxnv. If not provided, all weights as 1.

Member Function Documentation

◆ ComputeKnotUfromU()

double chrono::geometry::ChSurfaceNurbs::ComputeKnotUfromU ( double  U) const
inline

When using Evaluate() etc.

you need U parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert U->u, where u is in knot range, calling this:

◆ ComputeKnotVfromV()

double chrono::geometry::ChSurfaceNurbs::ComputeKnotVfromV ( double  V) const
inline

When using Evaluate() etc.

you need V parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert V->v, where v is in knot range, calling this:

◆ ComputeUfromKnotU()

double chrono::geometry::ChSurfaceNurbs::ComputeUfromKnotU ( double  u) const
inline

When using Evaluate() etc.

you need U parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert u->U, where u is in knot range, calling this:

◆ ComputeVfromKnotV()

double chrono::geometry::ChSurfaceNurbs::ComputeVfromKnotV ( double  v) const
inline

When using Evaluate() etc.

you need V parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert v->V, where v is in knot range, calling this:

◆ Evaluate()

ChVector chrono::geometry::ChSurfaceNurbs::Evaluate ( double  parU,
double  parV 
) const
overridevirtual

Return a point on the surface, given parametric coordinates U,V.

Parameters U and V always work in 0..1 range. As such, to use u' in knot range, use ComputeUfromKnotU().

Reimplemented from chrono::geometry::ChSurface.

◆ SetupData()

void chrono::geometry::ChSurfaceNurbs::SetupData ( int  morder_u,
int  morder_v,
ChMatrixDynamic< ChVector<> > &  mpoints,
ChVectorDynamic<> *  mknots_u = 0,
ChVectorDynamic<> *  mknots_v = 0,
ChMatrixDynamic<> *  weights = 0 
)
virtual
