Cylinders and Pipes Construction

Cylinder

Simple Cylinder

To make a simple cylinder grid in python mode, the following data are required:

  • nbR : number of hexahedra on radial.
  • nbA : number of hexahedra along the perimeter of the cylinder.
  • nbH : number of hexahedra along the axis of the cylinder.

Use the function makeCyinderTop:

elts = doc.makeCylinderTop(nbR, nbA, nbH)

GUI command: Simple Cylinder

Uniform Cylinder

The following data are required:

  • origin : origin’s coordinates of the cylinder (select a vertex).
  • vx : the base of the cylinder (select a vector).
  • vz : the axis of the cylinder (select a vector).
  • rint : the radius of the hole in the cylinder .
  • rext : the radius of the cylinder.
  • angle : angle of the cylinder around the Z axis.
  • hauteur: the height of the cylinder.
  • nbR : number of hexahedra on radial.
  • nbA : number of hexahedra along the perimeter of the cylinder.
  • nbH : number of hexahedra along the axis of the cylinder.

Use the function makeCylinderUni to make a uniform cylinder:

elts = doc.makeCylinderUni(origin, vx, vz, rint, rext, angle, hauteur, nbR, nbA, nbH)

GUI command: Uniform Cylinder

Custom Cylinder

The following data are required:

  • origin : origin’s coordinates of the cylinder (select a vertex).
  • vx : the base of the cylinder (select a vector).
  • vz : the axis of the cylinder (select a vector).
  • tr : a list of radiuses in ascendant order.
  • ta : a list of angles in ascendant order.
  • th : a list of heights in ascendant order.

Use the function makeCylinder to make a custom cylinder:

elts = doc.makeCylinder(origin, vx, vz, tr, ta, th)

GUI command: Custom Cylinder

Make Cylinders

To make two cylinders in T shape the following data are required for each cylinder:

  • orig : the origin of the cylinder (select a vertex).
  • vz : the axis of the cylinder (select a vector).
  • rext : the radius of the cylinder.
  • h : the height of the cylinder.

One of the two cylinders must be bigger than the other.
