Detailed Description

template<typename T>
struct drake::geometry::PenetrationAsPointPair< T >

A characterization of the intersection of two penetrating geometries.

The characterization consists of a pair of points and a normal. The points represent a point on each geometry that most deeply penetrates the other geometry (in the normal direction). For convenience, the penetration depth is provided and is equal to:

depth = `(p_WCb - p_WCa) ⋅ nhat_BA_W`

(depth is strictly positive when there is penetration and otherwise not defined.)

Template Parameters

T	The underlying scalar type. Must be a valid Eigen scalar.

#include <drake/geometry/query_results/penetration_as_point_pair.h>

Member Function Documentation

◆ SwapAAndB()

void SwapAAndB ( )

Swaps the interpretation of geometries A and B.

Member Data Documentation

◆ depth

T depth {-1.0}

The penetration depth.

◆ id_A

GeometryId id_A

The id of the first geometry in the contact.

◆ id_B

GeometryId id_B

The id of the second geometry in the contact.

◆ nhat_BA_W

Vector3<T> nhat_BA_W

The unit-length normal which defines the penetration direction, pointing from geometry B into geometry A, measured and expressed in the world frame.

It approximates the normal to the plane on which the contact patch lies.

◆ p_WCa

Vector3<T> p_WCa

The point on A that most deeply penetrates B, measured and expressed in the world frame.

◆ p_WCb

Vector3<T> p_WCb

The point on B that most deeply penetrates A, measured and expressed in the world frame.
