Hollow cylinder and other similar geometries

[Lucas]

Hi there,

I have a question: I need to create a cylindrical container (i.e. a hollow cylinder) but I've noticed that this type of geometry is not present in chrono. I thought of performing a sort of boolean subtraction between an inner and outer cylinder by setting false to the EnableCollision command, however this causes me problems since I would have to use the cylinder as a container and the EnableCollision of the outer cylinder remains set to true.

Is there a simple method without resorting to CAD imports to create geometries of this type or similar?

Thanks.

Please clarify what module in Chrono you are interested in using.  Defining collision geometry is different for different modules.

I'm undecided and I'm considering between multicore and granular, but for now I'm using multicore. Since I was considering just the development of the geometry I didn't consider there was a difference for the modules regarding the collision.
