Ellipse

Create a solid or curved ellipse in 2D.

Syntax

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

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

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

Description

Use model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Ellipse") to create an ellipse. The following properties are available:

Table 3-48: Valid Properties for Ellipse

Property	Value	Default	Description
base	corner | center	center	Positions the object either centered about pos or with the lower left corner of surrounding box in pos.
layer	double[]		Thicknesses of layers.
pos	double[]	{0,0}	Position of the object.
rot	double	0	Rotational angle about pos.
semiaxes	double[]	{1,1}	Semi-axes.
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>,"ellip2") is a solid ellipse.

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ellip1") is an ellipse curve.

The following properties are also available:

Table 3-49: Valid Property/Value Pairs

Property	Value	Default	Description
a, b	double	1	Alias for semiaxes.
x, y	double	0	Alias for pos.

The property const is no longer available.

Example

The following sequence creates a solid ellipse:

Code for use with Java

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

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

g.create("e1","Ellipse");

g.feature("e1").set("semiaxes","1 0.3");

g.feature("e1").set("rot",45);

g.run();

Code for use with MATLAB

model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');

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

g.create('e1','Ellipse');

g.feature('e1').set('semiaxes','1 0.3');

g.feature('e1').set('rot',45);

g.run;
