		const cbtVector3 &	pN,
		const cbtScalar	tol,
		cbtScalar &	t
	)

Utility function to intersect a line with a plane Plane equation: pN.X = pN.pP Line equation: X = lP + t * lD Solution: t = pN.

(pP-lP) / pN.lD

Parameters

		cbtScalar &	tMax
	)

Utility function to intersect a segment with a cylinder.

Segment assumed to be parameterized as sP = sC + t * sD, with -sH <= t <= sH. Cylinder given by its center cC, axis direction cD, halh-lengh cH, and radius cR. Assume |sD| = |cD| = 1. (1) Find tMin and tMax where the segment supporting line intersects cylindrical surface by finding points on segment at a distance cR from the cylinder axis line. (2) Clamp result to cylinder end-caps. (3) Clamp result to segment length.

Parameters

sC	segment center point
sD	segment direction (unit vector)
sH	segment half-length
cC	cylinder axis center
cD	cylinder axis direction (unit vector)
cH	cylinder axis half-length (cylinder halh-height)
cR	cylinder radius
tol	tolerance for parallelism test
tMin	segment parameter of first intersection point
tMax	segment parameter of second intersection point

◆ PointInsideBox()

ChApi bool chrono::collision::bt_utils::PointInsideBox	(	const cbtVector3 &	hdims,
		const cbtVector3 &	loc
	)

Check if given point is inside box (point expressed in box frame).

Parameters

hdims	box half-dimensions
loc	point

◆ ProjectPointOnLine()

ChApi cbtVector3 chrono::collision::bt_utils::ProjectPointOnLine	(	const cbtVector3 &	lP,
		const cbtVector3 &	lD,
		const cbtVector3 &	P
	)

Project point onto line.

Parameters

lP	point on line
lD	line direction (unit vector)
P	point

◆ SnapPointToBox()

ChApi int chrono::collision::bt_utils::SnapPointToBox	(	const cbtVector3 &	hdims,
		cbtVector3 &	loc
	)

Snap the specified location to a point on a box with given half-dimensions.

The in/out location is assumed to be specified in the frame of the box (which is therefore assumed to be an AABB centered at the origin). The return code indicates the box axes that caused snapping:

first bit (least significant) corresponds to x-axis
second bit corresponds to y-axis
third bit corresponds to z-axis

Therefore: code = 0 indicates an interior point code = 1 or code = 2 or code = 4 indicates snapping to a face code = 3 or code = 5 or code = 6 indicates snapping to an edge code = 7 indicates snapping to a corner

Parameters

hdims	box half-dimensions
loc	point (in/out)
