Check Cylinder and Ellipsoid Overlapping

Checks if there is overlapping between a cylinder and an ellipsoid

This tool checks if there is overlapping between a cylinder and an ellipsoid. Example file is provided.

function I=Cylinder_Ellipsoid_Overlap(vc1,vc2,d,Ellipsoid)

Input:

vc1 is (3*1) coordinate vector for the center of the first circular base of the cylinder.

vc2 is (3*1) coordinate vector for the center of the second circular base of the cylinder.

d is the diameter of the cylinder.

Ellipsoid is (1*9) array. each cell represent:

(1): radius of ellipsoid at direction 1

(2): radius of ellipsoid at direction 2

(3): radius of ellipsoid at direction 3

(4): x-cooridante of centroid

(5): y-coordinate of centroid

(6): z-coordinate of centroid

(7): Inclination angle 1

(8): Inclination angle 2

(9): Inclination angle 3

output:

I: true if there is overlap, otherwise it is false
