Tetrahedron

Create a solid or surface tetrahedron in 3D.

Syntax

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

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

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

Description

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

Table 3-105: Valid Property/Value Pair for Tetrahedron

Property name	property Value	Default	Description
p	double[3][4]	{{0,0,1,0},  {0,1,0,0},  {0,0,0,1}}	Corner coordinates.
type	solid | surface	solid	Object type.
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.

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

Compatibility

 model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"tetrahedron3") creates a solid tetrahedron.

 model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"tetrahedron2") creates a surface tetrahedron.

Example

The following commands generate a solid tetrahedron object:

Code for use with Java

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

GeomSequence g = model.geom().create("geom1",3);

g.create("t1","Tetrahedron");

g.feature("t1").set("p", new double[][]{{0,0,1,0},{0,0.8,1,0},{0,0.1,0,0.2}});

g.run();

Code for use with MATLAB

model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');

g = model.geom.create('geom1',3);

g.create('t1','Tetrahedron');

g.feature('t1').set('p', [[0,0,1,0];[0,0.8,1,0];[0,0.1,0,0.2]]);

g.run;
