Define a stadium as the union of disks and a rectangle:

The area is the sum of disk and quadrilateral areas:

Define a capsule as the union of balls and a cylinder:

The volume is the sum of the ball and cylinder volumes:

By taking a RegionUnion of many disks, dilation of a mesh can be approximated:

Create disks of the dilation radius around the mesh boundary:

Then simply take the union of all disks plus the original mesh:

By removing a RegionUnion of many disks, erosion of a mesh can be approximated:

Create disks of the erosion radius around the mesh boundary:

Then subtract the union of the disks from the original mesh:

Properties & Relations  (5)

A point p belongs to RegionUnion[reg1,reg2,] if it belongs to some regi:

Use RegionMember to test membership:

RegionUnion is a Boolean combination Or of regions:

RegionSymmetricDifference can be found using RegionUnion and RegionDifference:

The RegionDimension of a union is the max of all input dimensions:

If two regions are disjoint, the RegionMeasure of their union is a sum:

If they overlap, you must subtract the measure of the RegionIntersection:

Possible Issues  (2)

RegionUnion is defined only for regions with the same RegionEmbeddingDimension:

RegionUnion may include overlapping lower-dimensional components:

The connected mesh components:
