- Parameters
unitDir – [in] Normalized direction along which object geom0 should be swept
maxDist – [in] Maximum sweep distance, has to be in the [0, inf) range
geom0 – [in] The geometry object to sweep. Supported geometries are PxSphereGeometry, PxCapsuleGeometry, PxBoxGeometry and PxConvexMeshGeometry

geom1 – [in] The geometry object to test the sweep against
pose1 – [in] Pose of the geometry object to sweep against
sweepHit – [out] The sweep hit information. Only valid if this method returns true.
hitFlags – [in] Specify which properties per hit should be computed and written to result hit array. Combination of PxHitFlag flags
inflation – [in] Surface of the swept shape is additively extruded in the normal direction, rounding corners and edges.
queryFlags – [in] Optional flags controlling the query.
threadContext – [in] Optional user-defined per-thread context.

static bool computePenetration(PxVec3 &direction, PxF32 &depth, const PxGeometry &geom0, const PxTransform &pose0, const PxGeometry &geom1, const PxTransform &pose1, PxGeometryQueryFlags queryFlags = PxGeometryQueryFlag::eDEFAULT)
Compute minimum translational distance (MTD) between two geometry objects.
All combinations of geom objects are supported except:
plane/plane
plane/mesh
plane/heightfield
mesh/mesh
mesh/heightfield
heightfield/heightfield
anything involving PxParticleSystemGeometry, PxTetrahedronMeshGeometry or PxHairSystemGeometry
The function returns a unit vector (‘direction’) and a penetration depth (‘depth’).
The depenetration vector D = direction * depth should be applied to the first object, to get out of the second object.
Returned depth should always be positive or null.
If objects do not overlap, the function can not compute the MTD and returns false.
