Square

Create a solid or curve square in 2D.

Syntax

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

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

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

Description

Use model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Square") to create a square. The following properties are available:

Table 3-97: Valid Property/Value Pairs

Property	Value	Default	Description
base	corner | center	corner	Positions the object either centered about pos or with the lower left corner in pos.
layer	double[]		Thicknesses of layers.
layerleft	on | off	off	Apply layers to the left.
layerright	on | off	off	Apply layers to the right.
layertop	on | off	off	Apply layers on top.
layerbottom	on | off	on	Apply layers on bottom.
pos	double[]	{0,0}	Position of the object.
rot	double	0	Rotational angle about pos.
size	double	1	Side length.
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>,"square2") creates a solid square.

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"square1") creates a curve square.

The following properties are also available:

Table 3-98: Valid Property/Value Pairs

Property	Value	Default	Description
l	double	1	Alias for size
x, y	double	0	Alias for pos

The property const is no longer available.

Example

The sequence below creates a unit solid square:

Code for use with Java

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

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

g.create("sq1","Square");

g.run();

Code for use with MATLAB

model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');

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

g.create('sq1','Square');

g.run;
