Hi everyone,
I’m encountering an issue while working with rigid body collisions in
Project Chrono. I’ve created two cubes with a certain distance apart using
the following code:
auto box = chrono_types::make_shared<ChBodyEasyMesh>(
GetChronoDataFile("models/cube.obj"), // mesh filename
500, // density (kg/m^3)
true, // automatically compute mass and
inertia
true, // visualize?
true, // collide?
mat,
0.001 // mesh sweep sphere radius
);
Even though I’ve set gravity to 0 and no external forces are applied, the
cubes experience rotation and translation over time when collide is
enabled. If I disable collide, the cubes remain stationary. Clearly, the
issue is related to the collision behavior.
Interestingly, when I create the cubes using ChBodyEasyBox with the same
gravity and collision enabled, they remain stationary as expected:
auto box = chrono_types::make_shared<ChBodyEasyBox>(
3.96, 2, 4, // dimensions (x, y, z)
500, // density (kg/m^3)
true, // visualization?
true, // collision?
mat
);
Both cubes in this case are stable with no unexpected motion.
Could anyone help me understand why the behavior is different between
ChBodyEasyMesh and ChBodyEasyBox? Is there something specific about the
collision setup for ChBodyEasyMesh that I’m missing?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Jay
