Cylinder

Split geometric entities of an imported mesh by a cylinder.

Syntax

model.mesh(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Cylinder");

model.mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection();

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

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

Description

Use model.mesh(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Cylinder") to split geometric entities of an imported 3D mesh by an element set defined by a cylinder.

Use model.mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection() to specify geometric entities to split. If you do not specify the selection, the feature operates on the entire geometry.

The following properties are available:

Table 4-24: Available Properties

Property	Value	Default	Description
r	double	1	Radius of the cylinder
top	double	inf	Coordinate of upper boundary circle in local coordinate system
bottom	double	-inf	Coordinate of lower boundary circle in local coordinate system
pos	double[]	{0,0,0}	Position of the cylinder
axistype	x | y | z | Cartesian | spherical	z	Coordinate system used for axis. The value is synchronized with axis.
axis	double[]	{0,0,1}	Direction of the axis. Vector has length 3 if axistype is cartesian, and length 2 if axistype is spherical.
condition	allvertices | somevertex	allvertices	Condition for inclusion of an element
