Bug report: Overflow in AABB (CharacterDemo.exe)

Hey When I was playing with ReleaseCharacterDemo.exe, the demo reported "Overflow in AABB, object removed from simulation." OS: Winxp + SP3 Evn: VisualStudio 2008 Bullet version: 2.73 sp1 The error can be reproduced by : 1. Start the ReleaseCharacterDemo.exe 2. Shoot several dynamical obje...

Re: Mesh - mesh collision detection in OPCODE

If I understand your question correctly, for contact between, say obj1 and obj2, you want to get the collision triangles in both objects. Right? Then it is not that difficult. Here is the main procedure: // suppose you have set up the collision environment for obj1 and obj2 bool IsOK = Collider.Coll...

Re: Problem linking against installed bullet lib on Ubuntu

Hmmm, the only real difference I can find between your Makefile and my Makefile is that you compile the whole project with one command, and I compile the object files first and link them afterwards. No, please check your link option's position in your build rules. The following output is strange. c...

Re: Problem linking against installed bullet lib on Ubuntu

It seems they are not included in the project, anyone with Ubuntu / pkg-config experience can help? Thanks, Seems Ubuntu(Gutsy Gibbon), pkg-config and bullet are irrelative. I just built the ConcavePhysicsDemo without any problem. 1. Copy source for the demo to a new directory. 2. Copy the necessar...

Robot simulation and motor control

In my simulator I need to control the trajectories of the joints based on my path planning algorithms. I want to know how to do it using Bullet. Following are the necessary context and problem statement. Context: 1. My simulation model (say, a mobile robot) consists one mobile root link and other li...

I did not read the manual but the following steps work for me.

0. Move to the Bullet root directory.

1.

Code: Select all

./configure
2.

Code: Select all

jam
3.

Code: Select all

sudo jam install
That's all.

[Bug Report] Base class does not have virtual destructor

There is really a minor bug: In btGIMPACTMeshShape.h, we have following class definition: class BT_GIMPACT_TRIMESH_DATA_HANDLE_ARRAY: public btAlignedObjectArray<BT_GIMPACT_TRIMESH_DATA_HANDLE> { public: }; However, the base template class btAlignedObjectArray's destructor is not virtual. Usually it...

Could you give more details about what exactly not works in 'almost works' ? Sorry for my poor wording... I will try to explain the problem. When I run the MovingConcaveDemo, I found that if I shoot the concave mesh several times within a short time (push "." key quickly ), then the meshe...

You can use multiple contact manifolds for concave versus concave: The optional GIMPACT integration in Bullet uses an array of contact manifolds. See MovingConcaveDemo, and Bullet/Extras\GIMPACTBullet\btConcaveConcaveCollisionAlgorithm.cpp Erwin Thank you for the pointer, but I checked them before ...

Thank you for your reply... Using Featherstone in combination with contact resolution using 1. LCP-solver based method 2.

Concave trimesh contact points reduction

Is there any standard way to do contact points reduction for concave triangle meshes? In my simulator, the board-phrase/middle-phrase collision module can provide me the overlapped triangle pairs, and my problem is how to find the reasonable/reduced contact points for further collision response (I w...

Impulse based collision response and featherstone constraint

Hey, I am now trying to build a robot simulator and I have question about applying impulse based collision response to the featherstone ABA algorithms. Yes, I need featherstone ABA because in my simulation I need the accurate joint states, and the drifting caused by numeric error should be avoided. ...
