Question on ContactMesh

Post by Connor Stapp » Tue Jun 27, 2017 12:08 pm

I was looking at contact geometries and found an example of a ContactMesh at http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... ctGeometry

Code: Select all

<ContactMesh name="block">
	<body_name> block </body_name>
	<location> 0 0 0 </location>
	<orientation> 0 0 0 </orientation>
	<filename> blockRemesh192.obj </filename>
</ContactMesh>
I was wondering what the filename and the obj file are used for if anyone wouldn't mind explaining

The .obj file defines the vertices and faces of the mesh (see, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavefront_.obj_file).
