OpenCASCADE曲面求交之网格离散法1
OpenCASCADE曲面求交之网格离散法1
1 Introduction
由朱心雄等著《自由曲线曲面造型技术》书中对曲面求交之网格离散法描述如下:该法的基本思想是先将曲面离散为由小平面片组成的网格,当网格足够密时,可以认为已经非常接近真实曲面,对分别表示不同曲面的两张网格,利用平面片求交法求得的交线,并以此交线近似代表曲面间的交线。这种方法原理简明,便于实现,适用范围广,任意参数曲面均可利用该法求交。但为获取精确地交线,则必须生成非常细密的网格,这将导致占用内存多,计算花费大。因此,实际工作中很少单一使用离散网格法,而常将其与其他方法结合使用。
OpenCASCADE中对于曲面求交也提供离散网格法,其中曲面的离散网格由类IntPatch_Polyhedron表示,两个网格面求交使用类IntPatch_InterferencePolyhedron。本文主要介绍曲面的网格表示类IntPatch_Polyhedron。

OpenCASCADE用于曲面求交的网格离散算法相对BRepMesh中的算法要简单很多,主要思路是根据参数U,V方向上的采样点数量来计算曲面上的点,再根据固定公式将采样点连成三角形。其中生成采样点代码如下所示:
成员变量CMyPnts是采样点数组,CMyU和CMyV是采样点在曲面上的参数。将采样点连成三角形函数如下图所示:
根据上述生成采样点及三角形函数,对于平面生成的三角形如下图所示:
其中Triangle()函数中变量line表示参数u方向上第几条线,代入具体的索引Index来看规律:
当参数索引 Index为1时,line为1,得到的三角形为1-4-5;
当参数索引Index为2时,line为1,得到的三角形为1-5-2;
当参数索引Index为3时,line为1,得到的三角形为2-5-6;
当参数索引Index为4时,line为1,得到的三角形为2-6-3;
当参数索引Index为5时,line为2,得到的三角形为4-7-8;
当参数索引Index为6时,line为2,得到的三角形为4-8-5;
从上可以得到生成三角形的规律,即根据索引Index计算正在处理的三角形是参数u方向上第几条线line,生成这条线上在参数v方向上的所有的三角形。生成的三角形都是逆时针的。
下面我们看看对于一些基本曲面,这种离散网格算法生成的网格效果:

圆柱面的离散网格
圆环面的离散网格

3 Conclusion
综上所述,类IntPatch_Polyhedron中生成网格的算法主要依赖曲面在参数U,V上的采样点数量。默认采样点数量是根据函数NbSamplesV()和NbSamplesU()生成。
也可以指定采样点数量,当采样点数量越多,则生成的三角形越多,网格越密。当然这种方式也可用来生成曲面的显示数据,生成速度很快,唯一的缺陷是生成显示用网格的精度只能通过采样点数量来控制,对于曲率变化大的曲面,若指定多的采样点,则会生成大量三角形,占用大量内存空间。
