Member Function Documentation

◆ EnableActiveBoundingBox()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::EnableActiveBoundingBox ( const ChVector<> &  aabb_min,
const ChVector<> &  aabb_max 
)

Enable monitoring of shapes outside active bounding box (default: false).

If enabled, objects whose collision shapes exit the active bounding box are deactivated (frozen). The size of the bounding box is specified by its min and max extents.

◆ GetActiveBoundingBox()

bool chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::GetActiveBoundingBox ( ChVector<> &  aabb_min,
ChVector<> &  aabb_max 
) const

Get the dimensions of the "active" box.

The return value indicates whether or not the active box feature is enabled.

◆ PostProcess()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::PostProcess ( )
overridevirtual

Synchronization operations, invoked after running the collision detection.

This function updates the list of active bodies (if active bounding box enabled).

Reimplemented from chrono::ChCollisionSystem.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChCollisionSystemChronoMulticore.

◆ PreProcess()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::PreProcess ( )
overridevirtual

Synchronization operations, invoked before running the collision detection.

This function copies contactable state information in the collision system's data structures.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChCollisionSystem.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChCollisionSystemChronoMulticore.

◆ RayHit() [1/2]

bool chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::RayHit ( const ChVector<> &  from,
const ChVector<> &  to,
ChCollisionModel model,
ChRayhitResult result 
) const
overridevirtual

Perform a ray-hit test with the specified collision model.

Currently not implemented.

Implements chrono::ChCollisionSystem.

◆ RayHit() [2/2]

bool chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::RayHit ( const ChVector<> &  from,
const ChVector<> &  to,
ChRayhitResult result 
) const
overridevirtual

Perform a ray-hit test with all collision models.

Currently not implemented.

Implements chrono::ChCollisionSystem.

◆ Remove()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::Remove ( ChCollisionModel model)
overridevirtual

Remove a collision model from the collision engine.

Currently not implemented.

Implements chrono::ChCollisionSystem.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChCollisionSystemDistributed.

◆ ReportProximities()

virtual void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::ReportProximities ( ChProximityContainer mproximitycontainer)
inlineoverridevirtual

Fill in the provided proximity container with near point information after Run().

Not used.

Implements chrono::ChCollisionSystem.

Reimplemented in chrono::ChCollisionSystemChronoMulticore.

◆ SetBroadphaseGridDensity()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::SetBroadphaseGridDensity ( double  density)

Set a variable number of grid bins, such that there are roughly density collision shapes per bin.

By default, a fixed number of bins is used (see SetBroadphaseGridResolution).

◆ SetBroadphaseGridResolution()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::SetBroadphaseGridResolution ( const ChVector< int > &  num_bins)

Set a fixed number of grid bins (default 10x10x10).

This is the default setting; to continuously adjust the number of bins, use SetBroadphaseGridSize or SetBroadphaseGridDensity.

◆ SetBroadphaseGridSize()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::SetBroadphaseGridSize ( const ChVector<> &  bin_size)

Set a variable number of grids, such that each bin has roughly the specified size.

By default, a fixed grid resolution is used (see SetBroadphaseGridResolution).

◆ SetEnvelope()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::SetEnvelope ( double  envelope)

Set collision envelope for rigid shapes (default: ChCollisionModel::GetDefaultSuggestedEnvelope).

For stability of NSC contact, the envelope should be set to 5-10% of the smallest collision shape size (too large a value will slow down the narrowphase collision detection). The envelope is the amount by which each collision shape is inflated prior to performing the collision detection, in order to create contact constraints before shapes actually come in contact. This collision detection system uses a global envelope, used for all rigid shapes in the system.

◆ SetNarrowphaseAlgorithm()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::SetNarrowphaseAlgorithm ( ChNarrowphase::Algorithm  algorithm)

Set the narrowphase algorithm (default: ChNarrowphase::Algorithm::HYBRID).

The Chrono collision detection system provides several analytical collision detection algorithms, for particular pairs of shapes (see ChNarrowphasePRIMS). For general convex shapes, the collision system relies on the Minkovski Portal Refinement algorithm (see ChNarrowphaseMPR).

◆ Visualize()

void chrono::ChCollisionSystemChrono::Visualize ( int  flags)
overridevirtual

Method to trigger debug visualization of collision shapes.

The 'flags' argument can be any of the VisualizationModes enums, or a combination thereof (using bit-wise operators). The calling program must invoke this function from within the simulation loop. No-op if a visualization callback was not specified with RegisterVisualizationCallback().
