  2. Bounding volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume

    A bounding box or minimum bounding box (MBB) is a cuboid, or in 2-D a rectangle, containing the object. In dynamical simulation, bounding boxes are preferred to other shapes of bounding volume such as bounding spheres or cylinders for objects that are roughly cuboid in shape when the intersection test needs to be fairly accurate. The benefit is ...

  3. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    As the local density of a packing in an infinite space can vary depending on the volume over which it is measured, the problem is usually to maximise the average or asymptotic density, measured over a large enough volume. For equal spheres in three dimensions, the densest packing uses approximately 74% of the volume.

  4. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

    A cube, except that its faces are not squares but rhombi; Cuboid: A convex polyhedron bounded by six quadrilateral faces, whose polyhedral graph is the same as that of a cube [4] Some sources also require that each of the faces is a rectangle (so each pair of adjacent faces meets in a right angle).

  5. Cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid

    Etymologically, "cuboid" means "like a cube", in the sense of a convex solid which can be transformed into a cube (by adjusting the lengths of its edges and the angles between its adjacent faces). A cuboid is a convex polyhedron whose polyhedral graph is the same as that of a cube. [1] [2] General cuboids have many different types.

  6. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  7. Parallelepiped - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

    Rectangular cuboid: it has six rectangular faces (also called a rectangular parallelepiped, or sometimes simply a cuboid). Right rhombic prism : it has two rhombic faces and four congruent rectangular faces.

  8. Minimum bounding box algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box...

    It is a type of bounding volume. "Smallest" may refer to volume, area, perimeter, etc. of the box. It is sufficient to find the smallest enclosing box for the convex hull of the objects in question. It is straightforward to find the smallest enclosing box that has sides parallel to the coordinate axes; the difficult part of the problem is to ...

  9. Rectangular cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangular_cuboid

    A rectangular cuboid with integer edges, as well as integer face diagonals, is called an Euler brick; for example with sides 44, 117, and 240. A perfect cuboid is an Euler brick whose space diagonal is also an integer. It is currently unknown whether a perfect cuboid actually exists. [6] The number of different nets for a simple cube is 11 ...
