[SOLVED] Problems finding collision algorithms

[Arnhey]

Hello everyone,

first of all I would like to thank you for your hard work creating SOFA. I’m an engineering student and right now I’m working on a project where I have to implement soft bodies to an existing rigid-body framework and I have not worked with any kind of framework before. For this project I would like to take a closer look at your narrow phase collision detection algorithms. However, I am not able to find the algorithms in the sourcecode I downloaded from the git. Am I blind or is it hidden somewhere? Also if this is the wrong forum for this question I am sorry.

Thank you for your help in advance,

Arnhold

Hello,
you will find components implementing broad phase and narrow phase in the module SofaBaseCollision, you can take a look to the BruteForceDetection class which implements both. note that the narrow phase requires additionnal components like MinProximityDetection which provides the intersection test functions.

Hope that it will help you,
Romain.

I think that is what I needed. Thank you for your help. It really seemed that I was blind.

Cheers,

Arnhold
