Constructing Triangulation for a Body

The method

void CalculateGrid( const MbSolid &         solid,
                    const MbStepData &      stepData,
                          RPArray<MbGrid> & grids );

builds a set of triangulations for the faces of a solid.

The input parameters of the method are:

• solid – solid body;

• stepData – data for calculating the approximation step.

The output parameter of the method is the grids set.

The method does not return a value.

The method is declared in the mip_solid_area_volume.h file.

This method approximates the faces of the solid body with triangulations grids. When calling the method, the grids set must be empty. Each i-th face of the solid body corresponds to the constructed object grids[i].

The stepData parameter controls the density of polygonal object meshes and contains data for calculating the step when moving along curves and surfaces of solids. The stepData parameter is described in the subsection Triangulation Calculation Control.
