[SOLVED] Setting the FixedContraint to a surface mesh

[shiva]

Hello

I have created a 3d model in .msh format and succeeded in displaying it. I have added triangleSetTopology to my model in the code.
The mesh is a circular disc.
I have issues in setting the pivot point to the model to stand against gravity and not fall down .
i have added the link to video, code and mesh:

Cheers

Hi @avihs98

I think your mesh have some issue, especially on the border. In the mechanicalObject you can activate the Visualization with showIndices=”1″ and you can see that at the border of the disk, two points are always overlapping. I gues some points are not connected to the rest of the mesh.

Look, if you use instead the indices=”3010 3050″ it works.
I would go for a remeshing or at least analyzing the mesh connectivity.

Thanks @Hugo

I will try recreating the mesh. Can you please give me a sample code of how to activate
the Visualization with showIndices=”1″ in mechanicalObject.

Thanks

Of course.
Here you are:

<MechanicalObject  showIndices="1" showIndicesScale="0.005" />

Thanks a lot for your support @Hugo.

Hello @Hugo.

Can you please tell me How you could find those values of indices as 3010 and 3050.

Hi @avihs98

Just change the field “indices” in the FixedConstraint.
You will see that using these indices the Constraint works well.

<FixedConstraint indices="3010 3050" />

Again let us know when you have successfully remeshed your disk.

No Sir,

My question was that, how could you find the indices 3010 and 3050?, Was it a trial and error method or any other specific way to find them.

Cheers

Hi @avihs98

I just took two random points.

If you want to visual the point IDs just activate the options showIndices and showIndicesScale in the associated MechanicalObject (as mentioned above).

thanks for the support i have successfully completed it.
