Move, Copy

Move or copy geometry objects by translation.

Syntax

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

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

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

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

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

Description

Use model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Move") to move geometry objects.

Use model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Copy") to move a copy of geometry objects.

Use model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the objects to move or copy. The default selection is empty.

The following properties are available:

Table 3-75: Valid Properties

Name	Value	Default	Description
input	Selection		Objects to move or copy.
keep	on | off	off (Move) on (Copy)	Keep input objects.
displ	double[] | double[][]	0	Displacement vector(s).
selresult	on | off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off	dom	Show selections, if selresult is on, of resulting objects in physics, materials, and so on, or in part instances. 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.

If displ is a one-dimensional array, a single copy of each input object is created using the translation vector displ. If displ is a two-dimensional array, several copies can be created, where the nth copy has translation displ[i][n] in the ith coordinate.

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

Example

The sequence below moves a circle from the origin to (2, 3):

Code for use with Java

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

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

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

g.create("m1","Move");

g.feature("m1").selection("input").set("c1");

g.feature("m1").set("displ", new double[][]{{2},{3}});

g.run();

Code for use with MATLAB

model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');

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

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

g.create('m1','Move');

g.feature('m1').selection('input').set('c1');

g.feature('m1').set('displ', [2,3]);

g.run;
