I see. That makes sense. In fact, I intend to eventually combine the RigidTerrain and SCMTerrain classes (or maybe provide a convenience wrapper class) to allow creating a complex scene with a combination of rigid and SCM deformable patches. Unfortunately, that is not completely straightforward and I do not have the bandwidth to work on it in the very near future. But soon, hopefully in a month or two.

Actually, I want to stitch two different types of SCM terrain together（with different parameters). When the terrain is uneven, it may happen that one terrain is higher and another is lower. This causes vehicles running on the lower terrain to be unable to make contact with the ground because of the extended SCM terrain from the higher one. Therefore, I want to find a way to fix the issue. Is there any solutions?

The height of the SCM terrain beyond these limits is equal to the height of the closes (x-y) point that was initialized. In other words, what you call “the area outside the grids” is not rigid, but rather deformable SCM terrain. It is simply not visualized (one could also automatically extend the visualization mesh as the vehicle moves beyond those limits, but that was not of interest to me when I implemented this code). What I fail to understand is why this is an issue to you. Why would you want the rover to “fall off the terrain”? Supposedly, you are interested in keeping the rover within the bounds you defined – that should be done through other means (control of the rover). --Radu From: projec...@googlegroups.com <projec...@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of yueminzhang Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2024 1:41 PM To: ProjectChrono <projec...@googlegroups.com> Subject: [chrono] Help with SCMDeformableTerrain settings Hello, I am recently running a demo using the SCM terrain, and find that when the terrain is initialized, the area outside the grids seemed to be solid. When I drove a viper outside the settled area, the viper wouldn't drop down. Is there any solutions to remove the mesh outside the visualized area? Regards.
