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 ( const 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 ( const 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 ( const double  u) const
inline

Evaluates normal.

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 ( const 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()

void chrono::geometry::ChSurfaceNurbs::Evaluate ( ChVector<> &  pos,
const double  parU,
const double  parV 
) const
overridevirtual

Evaluates a point on the line, given parametric coordinate U.

Parameter U always work in 0..1 range, even if knots are not in 0..1 range. So if you want to use u' in knot range, use ComputeUfromKnotU(). Computed value goes into the 'pos' reference. It must be implemented by inherited classes.

Implements 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

mpointscontrol points, size nuxnv. Required: at least nu >= pu+1, same for v
mknots_uknots u, size ku. Required ku=nu+pu+1. If not provided, initialized to uniform.
