Hello everyone,
As part of a project in a programming course in ÉTS Montréal, we are dealing with assembly comparisons. We are using the software Visual Studio 2022 to code and only treat SolidWorks files.
In order to compare geometrically two parts, we have decided to use the function GetCoincidenceTransform2. As a result, it returns the transform matrix of the 2 parts we want to compare. We would like to understand how this function works in more detail. We looked at all the documentation available online but we could not find what is behind this function.
We have a few ideas :
- superposition of vertices
- alignment of inertia axes
- make the two meshes coincide
- maximization of the shared volume
Understanding what is behind the function would help us explain what we’re really doing and not only use the function without any thoughts.
Your help would be very helpful. Thank you for your consideration.
