PxDeformableVolumeMesh

Defined in include/geometry/PxTetrahedronMesh.h

class PxDeformableVolumeMesh : public PxRefCounted

A deformable volume mesh, containing structures to store collision shape, simulation shape and deformation state.

The class bundles shapes and deformation state of a deformable volume that is simulated using FEM. The meshes used for collision detection and for the FEM calculations are both tetrahedral meshes. While collision detection requires a mesh that matches the surface of the simulated body as exactly as possible, the simulation mesh has more freedom such that it can be optimized for tetrahedra without small angles and nodes that aren’t shared by too many elements.

Creation

To create an instance of this class call PxPhysics::createDeformableVolumeMesh(), and release() to delete it. This is only possible once you have released all of its PxShape instances.

virtual void release() = 0

Decrements the reference count of a tetrahedron mesh and releases it if the new reference count is zero.

PxPhysics.createTetrahedronMesh()

virtual PxU32 getReferenceCount() const = 0

Returns the reference count of the object.

At creation, the reference count of the object is 1. Every other object referencing this object increments the count by 1. When the reference count reaches 0, and only then, the object gets destroyed automatically.

Returns

the current reference count.

virtual void acquireReference() = 0

Acquires a counted reference to this object.

This method increases the reference count of the object by 1. Decrement the reference count by calling release()

virtual const char *getConcreteTypeName() const = 0

Returns string name of dynamic type.

Returns

Class name of most derived type of this object.

template<class T>
inline T *is()
template<class T>
inline const T *is() const
inline PxType getConcreteType() const

Returns concrete type of object.

PxConcreteType

Returns

PxConcreteType::Enum of serialized object

inline void setBaseFlag(PxBaseFlag::Enum flag, bool value)

Set PxBaseFlag

Parameters
  • flag[in] The flag to be set

  • value[in] The flags new value

inline void setBaseFlags(PxBaseFlags inFlags)

Set PxBaseFlags

Parameters

inFlags[in] The flags to be set

inline PxBaseFlags getBaseFlags() const

Returns PxBaseFlags.

inline virtual bool isReleasable() const

Whether the object is subordinate.

A class is subordinate, if it can only be instantiated in the context of another class.
