Member Data Documentation

◆ bins_per_axis

vec3 chrono::collision_settings::bins_per_axis

This variable is the primary method to control the granularity of the collision detection grid used for the broadphase.

As the name suggests, it is the number of slices along each axis. During the broadphase stage the extents of the simulation are computed and then sliced according to the variable.

◆ collision_envelope

real chrono::collision_settings::collision_envelope

This parameter, similar to the one in chrono inflates each collision shape by a certain amount.

This is necessary when using NSC as it creates the contact constraints before objects acutally come into contact. In general this helps with stability.

◆ narrowphase_algorithm

NarrowPhaseType chrono::collision_settings::narrowphase_algorithm

There are multiple narrowphase algorithms implemented in the collision detection code.

The narrowphase_algorithm parameter can be used to change the type of narrowphase used at runtime.
