Glue / Fracture rigid bodies (based on btCompoundShape) #90

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 

"For example, I would like to simulate a group of objects together all 
behaving as though they are part of a bigger rigid body, and then break 
them off into individual rigid bodies depending on the impact they 
feel...(ie if the impact each of them felt was greater than a threshold)."

See http://bulletphysics.com/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2586 for 
details and discussion.

We need some way of calculating connectivity, so you don't have floating or 
disconnectd 
compounds. A method that precalculates contact points between all child shapes 
can do 
this automatically.

Some voronoi based fracture links:

If you use a procedural voronoi fracture then calculating the connectivity is 
trivial since the connectivity is simply the dual of the voronoi diagram, i.e., 
the delaunay triangulation. While this might be quite cool for performing 
runtime fractures one should just keep in mind to allow for artists to create 
prefractured geometry which may, or may not, have been created by a voronoi 
fracture.

The trick would be to somehow automatically calculate neighbours. I have worked 
on a project to do exactly this from within Houdini. We naively constructed a 
'connectivity graph' by performing a 3D deluanay triangulation on the centroids 
of all the "chunks". We would then perform shock / impact propagation along 
those edges and break them when they exceeded certain 'strength' thresholds and 
so forth. 

Maybe this helps a bit?

Attached is an updated demo that can glue and fracture. Press 'f' to toggle 
between glue and fracture.

The demo introduces a new class btFractureBody : public btRigidBody that 
maintains  connections between child shapes in the compound, as well as 
individual masses.

In glue mode, when a rigid body collides with a btFractureBody, they will merge 
together.

In fracture mode, if a rigid body collides with a btFractureBody and it exceeds 
some threshold, it will try to break connections. Then it will recompute 
connectivity, and if there are 2 or more parts it will spawn new btFractureBody 
for each, and remove the original.

It needs a bit more work before it can go in the SDK as a demo, but it can 
serve as a starting point.

The demo requires Bullet 2.77 SDK or later.

in your demo is a small bug: when large object is breaking, then speed of all 
small cracked pieces is zero (stopping), even if on previous step compound 
object has a big speed.

Indeed, the velocity is not copied/transfered after breaking. This should be 
fixed.

I copied the demo in the latest trunk:

"This should be fixed." - sorry my language, but you mean this trouble already 
fixed or will be fixed in future? In lastest svn trouble is exist, velosities 
is zero at moment of break.

It will be fixed before the next Bullet release.

Thanks,

You may use this tweak of btManifoldResult.cpp at line 132:

        if( (*gContactAddedCallback)(m_manifoldPtr->getContactPoint(insertIndex),obj0,newPt.m_partId0,newPt.m_index0,obj1,newPt.m_partId1,newPt.m_index1) )
        {
          m_manifoldPtr->removeContactPoint(insertIndex);
        }

So if your gContactAddedCallback return 0 (in case for example compound body) 
then contact point is remove.

Also it would be WONDERFUL to have evaluate applied impulse at 
gContactAddedCallback stage.

We could modify the contact callback, but I'm concerned about backwards 
compatibility, so better to keep it for Bullet 3.x. gContactAddedCallback is at 
the collision stage, no constraint solver has run yet.

The FractureDemo is now ready for first release, it keeps the velocity now. A 
better method for initializing the velocity after fracture could be developed 
later.
See http://code.google.com/p/bullet/source/detail?r=2349

It will be part of Bullet 2.78 release, soon now.

It will be possible to blend a softbody dynamic and this solution (you use a 
new separate btFracture solver)?

Also you do recompute connections for each new compound - it take long time for 
large simulation. I do just erase unused connections of unbreaked compound 
(check that children of each connection is part of this compound) - so 
connection reducing for breaked compound.

The current demo is a basic starting point. It hasn't been optimized yet. 
Extending it with softbody is possible.

If you have improvements, can you share it?
Thanks!

I can not share whole code, it is property of my company but I think I can some 
places of my code
