Quick and easy feature request [SOLVED]

Postby misho » Sat Feb 23, 2019 3:51 pm

Hi!

I have my code down to a state where I can link to newest Newton library, without any "tweaks" (just compile and link!)... except one:

In the "default" block, line 314 and 326 of dMatrix::GetEulerAngles(), I have to tweak two hard coded values of 0.99995f and -0.99995f to (in my case) 0.99999995f and -0.99999995f. This higher precision greatly improves my "gimbal lock" situation, which I encounter frequently since my spacecraft is allowed to have all kinds of attitude values while in orbit, in zero G.

Is it possible to implement a method that would allow me to set this value upon Newton setup, rather than being hard-coded? Something like

Code: Select all
NewtonSetEulerGimbalTolerance(double dTolerance)


Thanks!!

if liek thsi is ok,
Code: Select all
      #ifdef _NEWTON_USE_DOUBLE
         const dFloat tol = 0.99999995f;
         #else
         const dFloat tol = 0.99995f;
         #endif

         if (matrix[0][2] > tol) {


sync and is done.

Hi Julio!

I just noticed that this fix was applied at the wrong place. Currently, it is applied to line 176 of the current dMatrix.cpp. Instead, it needs to be applied on lines 320 and 332 of the current dMatrix.cpp. It has to pertain to the default block of the switch-case statement (on line 312).

After you made this fix, I didn't check, and notice, up until now. Some of my problems wit the parachute system were caused by this :roll:

thanks,
Misho
