typedef struct PK_boolean_match_region_o_s PK_boolean_match_region_o_t;
This option structure is used to specify and describe matched regions
of the target and tool body.
Used in:
PK_boolean_match_o_t
This options structure provides a mechanism to inform the boolean
functions of known matched topological regions. A matched region
is a region of overlap between two topological entities which are
geometrically coincident to a specified tolerance. The entities in the
matched region must be in the target or tools of the boolean operation.
The following combinations of topological entities may be
provided as matched regions :
o Vertex - Vertex
o Edge - Edge
o Face - Edge
o Face - Face
The matched entities or regions are associated with a 'match_type'
which classifies the relationship between the entities :
Vertex-Vertex Regions
o Exact : The vertex points are coincident to within the specified
tolerance.
o Contains : Invalid classification.
o Overlap : Invalid classification.
o Imprinted : The vertices are matched due to being paired via an imprinting
operation.
Edge-Edge Regions
o Exact : The edge curves are coincident to within the specified
tolerance. Equivalent edge vertices are coincident to
within the specified tolerance.
o Contains : The edge curves are coincident to within the specified
tolerance. The bounds of the second edge lie
completely within the first edge.
o Overlap : The edge curves are coincident to within the specified
tolerance. There is at least some form of overlap between
the two edges.
o Imprinted : The edges are matched due to being paired via an imprinting
operation.
Face-Edge Regions
o Exact : Invalid classification.
o Contains : The edge curve is coincident to within the specified
tolerance of the face surface. The edge lies completely
within the face. The edge may be coincident with an edge
of the face.
o Overlap : The edge curve is coincident to within the specified
tolerance of the face surface. The edge may intersect
the boundary (edges) of the face. The edge may be
coincident with an edge of the face.
o Imprinted : Invalid classification.
Face-Face Regions
o Exact : The face surfaces are coincident to within the specified
tolerance. For every edge on the first face there is a
matching edge on the second face. The edge matches are
not required to be exact.
o Contains : The face surfaces are coincident to within the specified
tolerance. The second face lies completely within the
first face. None of the edges of the second face may
intersect the boundary of the first face. Although edges
of the second face are allowed to be coincident with
those of the first face.
o Overlap : The face surfaces are coincident to within the specified
tolerance. The boundary of one face may intersect the
boundary of the other face. Edges of one face may be
coincident with edges of the other face.
o Imprinted : Invalid classification.
Matched Region Operation
o The topological entities supplied with a matched region may only
consist of vertices, edges or faces.
o The topological entities supplied with a matched region must belong
to different bodies. Matched regions between two tool bodies is
permitted.
o The matched regions may be specified in any order. Internally,
the matched regions are sorted into groups of vertex-vertex,
edge-edge, face-edge and face-face regions. The matched regions
are then processed in this order. The order of processing within
a group depends on the input order.
o A matched region may be specified more than once :
o Directly : For example, two edge-edge matches may be input,
where the edges specified are the same.
The first occurrence of the matched region will be
processed and the second will be ignored.
o Indirectly : For example, if two matched regions are specified,
an edge-edge and a face-face. The edges may form
part of the boundary of the faces.
The order of processing is dictated by the internal
ordering of the matched regions, described above.
In this case, the edge-edge match will be processed
first and then the face-face match; the face-face
match will ignore the specified edges when they
are encountered.
o Edges may be 'tolerantised' as a result of the matching operation.
Matched Region Assumption
The specification of matched regions ultimately specifies an edge
(or two edges) which forms the intersection between a number of
faces. If the 'match_style' field in the PK_boolean_match_o_s structure
is PK_boolean_match_style_basic_c then the implementation of matched regions
assumes that the edge (or edges) specifies a unique intersection between
all the faces that meet at that edge (or edges). The faces that are
adjacent to the edges involved in the matched region are not tested
for intersection. This means, if the faces intersect elsewhere, those
intersections will not be detected (unless those intersections are
specified by additional matched regions).
This assumption is not made if 'match_style' is set to
PK_boolean_match_style_relax_c or PK_boolean_match_style_auto_c and
Parasolid will find any further interactions.
Description of fields:
'regions' The matched topological entities. Only vertices, edges
and faces are considered valid topological entities
for matching.
'match_type' Classifies the topological match, permitted values
are,
PK_boolean_match_exact_c
PK_boolean_match_contains_c
PK_boolean_match_overlap_c
PK_boolean_match_imprinted_c
'tolerance' The value of the tolerance specifies the maximum
deviation between the matched topological entities
in the region of overlap.
