[SOLVED] One object with different collision definitions for different parts

[Marina]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to upload an object as one .stl file but define different collision models for two different parts. For instance, if I load the geometry of a needle, is it possible to use a TTriangleModel for the shaft and TLineModel and TTriangleModel for the tip (with different contact and friction parameters)?

Thanks,
Marina

Hi @marina

Good to see you on the forum!
Yes creating subpart of an object with different representations (e.g. different collision models) should be possible using the SubsetMapping. You can have a look at the example: examples/Components/mapping/SubsetMapping.scn

I hope this helps.
Best,

Hi Hugo,

awesome, many thanks! I have an idea, I want to try out.
I will let you know if there are interesting outcomes.

Hi Hugo,

I used the SubsetTopologicalMapping and it worked well.

Many thanks,
