ParSurface

Create a parameterized surface data set.

Syntax

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"ParSurface");

model.result().dataset(<dtag>).set(property, <value>);

Description

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"ParSurface") creates a parameterized surface data set feature named <dtag>.

Evaluation is made along an arbitrary parameterized surface in 3D.

The following properties are available:

Table 7-59: Valid Property/Value Pairs for a Parameterized Curve Data Set

name	Value	Default	Description
data	none | data set name	First compatible data set	The data set this feature refers to
exprx	String	0	The expression for x(par1, par2)
expry	String	0	The expression for y(par1, par2)
exprz	String	0	The expression for z(par1, par2)
global	boolean	false	If set to true, the data set only evaluates globally defined expressions
par1	String	s	The first surface parameter
par2	String	t	The second surface parameter
parmin1	double	0	The minimum value for par1.
parmax1	double	1	The maximum value for par1
parmin2	double	0	The minimum value for par2
parmax2	double	1	The maximum value for par2
res	integer	200	Resolution (the number of discretization points for each parameter)

The global property can be useful for BEM models and for far-field postprocessing, for example, to be able to evaluate globally defined expressions outside the mesh.
