Circle

Create a circle or disk in 2D.

Syntax

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Circle");

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);

Description

Use model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Circle") to create a disk in 2D. The following properties are available:

Table 3-31: Valid Property/Value Pairs

Property	Value	Default	Description
angle	double	360	Circle sector angle.
base	corner | center	center	Positions the object either centered about pos or with the lower-left corner of a surrounding box in pos
layer	double[]		Thicknesses of layers
pos	double[]	{0,0}	Position of the object
r	double	1	Radius
rot	double	0	Rotational angle about pos
type	solid | curve	solid	Object type
selresult	on | off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all | obj | dom | bnd | pnt | off	dom	Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; in part instances; or in 3D from a plane geometry. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
contributeto	String	none	Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.

For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.

Compatibility

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"circ2") creates a solid disk.

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"circ1") creates a circle curve.

The following properties are also available:

Table 3-32: Valid Property/Value Pairs

Property	Value	Default	Description
x, y	double	0	Alias for pos

The property const is no longer available.

Example

The sequence below creates a unit disk (solid circle object).

Code for use with Java

Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");

GeomSequence g = model.geom().create("geom1",2);

g.create("c1","Circle");

g.feature("c1").set("pos",new double[]{2,3});

String base = g.feature("c1").getString("base");

g.run();

Code for use with MATLAB

model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');

g = model.geom.create('geom1',2);

g.create('c1','Circle');

g.feature('c1').set('pos',[2,3]);

base = g.feature('c1').getString('base');

g.run;
