stl file import for Chrono-Bullet

[Jiapeng Liu]

Hi all,

We know that Chrono uses Bullet package to do contact detection. 

If I import two triangular meshes based on two *.stl files. Can I do contact detection between these two meshes? Which "shape" object should I use to import these two *.stl files?

Best

Hi Jiapeng,

 

You would create a trimesh collision shape, based on a ChTriangleMeshConnected object.

I added the ability to read a ChTriangleMeshConnected from an STL file a few months ago (see ChTriangleMeshConnected::CreateFromSTLFile and ChTriangleMeshConnected:: LoadSTLMesh), so you can only do this with the latest code in the ‘main’ branch of the Chrono git repository.
