Definition of a general (possibly non-convex) mesh.
The mesh may be a triangular surface mesh or a tetrahedral volume mesh, depending on how it used.
Meshes can be used with all three roles but, currently, the support for the proximity role is limited. Where a general mesh is not supported, the mesh is replaced by its convex hull. See the documentation of QueryObject's proximity queries for more details. The notable cases where the actual mesh topology is used includes:
This convex-hull substitution is a regrettable stop-gap solution until we fully support general, non-convex meshes throughout proximity queries.
For visual roles (illustration and perception), the specified mesh file is used as directly as possible.
The mesh is defined in a canonical frame C, implicit in the file parsed. Upon loading it in SceneGraph it can be scaled around the origin of C by a given scale
amount.

Constructs a mesh shape specification from the mesh file located at the given file path.
Optionally uniformly scaled by the given scale factor.
The mesh file referenced can be an .obj, a volume mesh in a .vtk, or a .gltf file. However, not all file formats are appropriate for all roles. (E.g., a tetrahedral .vtk file should not be assigned a perception role.)
filename | The file name; if it is not absolute, it will be interpreted relative to the current working directory. |
scale | An optional scale to coordinates. |
std::exception | if |scale| < 1e-8. Note that a negative scale is considered valid. We want to preclude scales near zero but recognise that scale is a convenience tool for "tweaking" models. 8 orders of magnitude should be plenty without considering revisiting the model itself. |

explicit |
Constructs a mesh shape specification from the contents of a Drake-supported mesh file type.
The mesh is defined by the contents of a mesh file format supported by Drake. Those contents are passed in as mesh_data
. The mesh data should include the main mesh file's contents as well as any supporting file contents as needed. See InMemoryMesh.
mesh_data | The in-memory file contents that define the mesh data for this shape. |
scale | An optional scale to coordinates. |
|
explicit |
Constructs a mesh shape specification from the given source
.
source | The source for the mesh data. |
scale | An optional scale to coordinates. |
|
final |
const std::string& extension | ( | ) | const |
Returns the extension of the mesh type – all lower case and including the dot.
If this
is constructed from a file path, the extension is extracted from the path. I.e., /foo/bar/mesh.obj and /foo/bar/mesh.OBJ would both report the ".obj" extension. The "extension" portion of the filename is defined as in std::filesystem::path::extension().
If this
is constructed using in-memory file contents, it is the extension of the MemoryFile passed to the constructor.
std::string filename | ( | ) | const |
Returns the filename passed to the constructor.
std::exception | if this Mesh was constructed using in-memory file contents. |
const PolygonSurfaceMesh<double>& GetConvexHull | ( | ) | const |
Reports the convex hull of the named mesh.
Note: the convex hull is computed on demand on the first invocation. All subsequent invocations should have an O(1) cost.
if | the referenced mesh data cannot be read or is degenerate (insufficient number of vertices, co-linear or coincident vertices, etc.) All of the vertices lying on a plane is not considered degenerate. |
double scale | ( | ) | const |
const MeshSource& source | ( | ) | const |
Returns the source for this specification's mesh data.
