Added demos for rigid and multi body soft (compliant) contact.
Will also add simplified Hertz compliant contact, by dynamically modifying the ERP/CFM to mimic a non-linear spring.
Note that btManifoldPoint is growing too big, we need to implement proper contact constraints derived from btTypedConstraint.
CFM for contacts use world CFM value by default, and can override with custom CFM value using the
BT_CONTACT_FLAG_HAS_CONTACT_CFM stored in m_contactPointFlags.
Boolean m_lateralFrictionInitialized is replaced 'BT_CONTACT_FLAG_LATERAL_FRICTION_INITIALIZED' flag stored in int m_contactPointFlags in btManifoldPoint.
Enable successive over-relaxation parameter (SOR) for contacts. btMLCPSolver uses global CFM.
In one of the next commits, contact softness will be enabled btMultiBody contacts.
Also need to review use of CFM in btMLCPSolvers (only world CFM is used at the moment)
add importer support for FIXED_CONSTRAINT_TYPE, to be replaced by btGeneric6DofSpring2Constraint
btFixedConstraint now derives from btGeneric6DofSpring2Constraint
add sphere2.urdf
move btSpatialAlgebra into LinearMath
remove some warnings, introduce BT_ZERO, BT_ONE, BT_HALF as defines for 0.f/0., 1.f/1., 0.5f/0.5 respectively
Will also add Erin Catto's local implicit version from the GDC 2015 tutorial
Added demo for btGeneric6DofSpring2Constraint, thanks to Gabor Puhr
Add gfxBridge.autogenerateGraphicsObjects method for Bullet 2 demos in new framework (need to implement all Bullet 2 collision shape types...)
Use 1,1,1 for local scaling in btStaticPlaneShape
hinge->setParam(BT_CONSTRAINT_ERP,0.5);
btScalar erp = hinge->getParam(BT_CONSTRAINT_ERP);
Also, preliminary support for status bar messages in demo framework.
contact force problems". The solver needs a lot of iterations, before the quality goes up (~ 1000)
Thanks to Gabor PUHR for the contribution!
Improved the btLemkeSolver.
Remove the sparse optimizations from the btMatrixX.h, replace it with explicit call to rowComputeNonZeroElements (only used in the btSolveProjectedGaussSeidel), it was likely slowing things down, without being useful.
Re-enable SIMD in the solver (was accidently disabled in Bullet 2.82 release)
with permission of the original author.
The Lemke implementation is not fully working yet:
1) we need to convert the lo-high LCP problem into a problem without the lo/high
2) we need to sort out the remaining instabilities, and report a failure if the max loopcount is reached etc.
We replaced the fmatvec library with our own LinearMath/btMatrixX.h, and STL std::vector with btAlignedObjectArray
Removed some warnings/potential issues: use fuzzyZero instead of isZero, and some warnings,
related to this issue 756
Apply patch for CMake config, see Issue 754 (Issue 753)
Fix a few issue with the MLCP solver: allow split impulse, and fix offset in friction dependencies
Added a PGS solver that uses the sparsity of the A matrix, just for testing (the equivalent sequential impulse solver is much faster, not having to allocate the big matrices)
The original version was written by Stephen Thompson.
I replaced Eigen math by Bullet LinearMath, and added a dedicated 6x6 matrix solver.
Also I integrated support for collisions/contact constraints between btMultiBody and btRigidBody, and de-activation support.
See Demos/FeatherstoneMultiBodyDemo/Win32FeatherstoneMultiBodyDemo.cpp for example usage.
There is currently only support for contact constraints for btMultiBody.
Next on the list will be adding support for joint limit constraint for btMultiBody.
The implementation is still experimental/untested, the quality will improve in upcoming Bullet releases.
