Point

Create a point object in 1D, 2D, or 3D.

Syntax

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

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

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

Description

Use model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Point") to create one or more points. The following property is available:

Table 3-84: Valid Property/Value Pair

Property name	property Value	Default	Description
p	double[] | double[][]	0	Coordinates.
selresult	on | off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all | obj | bnd | pnt | off	pnt in 2D and 3D; bnd in 1D	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.

If p is a one-dimensional array, a single point with these coordinates is constructed. If p is a two-dimensional array, a point object containing several points is constructed, where the nth point has ith coordinate p[i][n].

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

Compatibility

The following aliases work in 1D, 2D, and 3D, respectively:

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"point1");

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"point2");

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"point3");

Example

The following commands generate a point at (1, 2) in a 2D geometry:

Code for use with Java

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

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

g.create("p1","Point");

g.feature("p1").set("p",new double[][]{{1},{2}});

g.run();

Code for use with MATLAB

model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');

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

g.create('p1','Point');

g.feature('p1').set('p',[1,2]);

g.run;
