Dear community,
I am looking for a numerical method to calculate the volume of the intersection of more than two cylinders in any angle (not just 90° (Steinmetz Solid)). There is an old Hubbell paper (1965) but it just work for two cylinders.
Evidently, I can make the calculation by hand, but I need a numerical method since I am making calculations for millions of random intersections.
If you have seen any useful method over there, please let know.
Best regards,
I never saw an algorithm just like that (they come by thousands in geometry). It seems to be a straightforward-but-messy problem suitable for a student. I have one in mind who might like it (3rd year TechUni), but it looks to me as a one-month work (or 3 times more if done just evenings) and, reasonably enough, he would need to be paid something. If it is part of a funded project, I could serve as a non-profit intermediary.
