Capsule parameters

[Salavat Mukhamedzhanov]

Hi,

I am working on Project Chrono to Unity integration. I can't clearly understand  how do parameters affect the resulting shape of the capsule. Could you provide a schematic diagram that demonstrates the roles of the radius and hlen parameters in the AddCapsule function?

For example, this how it works in Unity:


Thank you!

Salavat,

 

The radius is the same as in your schematic.  The quantity hlen represents half of the length of the cylindrical portion of the capsule. In other words,  hlen = Height/2 – Radius
