ContactManifold Class Reference

A contact manifold is an area of contact between two objects, that exists for several timesteps in a simulated environment. For each timestep the manifold is updated with new contact points such that the manifold is dynamic. More...

Detailed Description

A contact manifold is an area of contact between two objects, that exists for several timesteps in a simulated environment. For each timestep the manifold is updated with new contact points such that the manifold is dynamic.

for each timestep do the following:

manifold.reset();

addContact()

void addContact ( ContactPoint &  point )

inline

add a contact point to this contact manifold.

Parameters

point

[in] the

generateContactManifolds()

static void generateContactManifolds ( std::vector< ContactPoint * > &  points, std::vector< ContactManifold * > &  manifolds  )

static

updates the manifolds with the new contact points. if some contact points does not fit in one of the manifolds then new manifolds are added.

Parameters

points
manifolds

genThresContactManifolds()

static void genThresContactManifolds ( std::vector< ContactPoint > &  points, std::vector< ContactManifold * > &  manifolds, double  thres  )

static

updates the manifolds with the new contact points. if some contact points does not fit in one of the manifolds then new manifolds are added. The clustering method for this contact generator is based on a simple max distance from deepest penetrating point.

Parameters

points
manifolds
thres	[in] maximum distance from deepest penetrating point.

isInManifold()

bool isInManifold ( ContactPoint &  point )

inline

test if the contactpoint point is close enough to the manifold to be part of it.

Parameters

point

[in]

Returns

true if point is close enough to manifold, false otherwise
