Revolve1D, Revolve2D

Create a 1D or 2D revolve data set.

Syntax

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"Revolve1D");

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"Revolve2D");

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

Description

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"Revolve1D") creates a 1D revolved data set feature named <dtag>.

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"Revolve2D") creates a 2D revolved data set feature named <dtag>.

The revolved data set needs to supply variables that cannot be expressed in terms of the coordinates of the underlying data set: The spatial coordinates and the rotation angle. Therefore the xmesh interpolation/evaluation has to be extended with support for supplying the values of these variables in a given set of points. The names of the spatial coordinates need not be exposed to the user, but the revolution angle should be available as revphi.

The source data sets for the revolutions can be any 1D and 2D data sets although the feature is primarily intended for axisymmetric coordinate systems.

The following properties are available for Revolve1D:

name	Value	Default	Description
anglevar	String	Derived from feature name	The name of the angle variable in the revolved coordinate system
data	none | data set name	First compatible data set	The data set this feature refers to
hasspacevars	Boolean	false	If true, spacevars and anglevars are made available for evaluation
planemap	xy | xz	xz	The 3D plane that the 2D xy plane is mapped to
point	double	0	The point that is the axis of revolution
revangle	double	360	The revolution angle (degrees)
revlayers	integer >= 3	50	The number of revolution layers
spacevars	String array	Derived from feature name	The names of the space variables in the revolved coordinate system
startangle	double	0	The angle where the revolved sector begins (degrees)

The following properties are available for Revolve2D:

Table 7-81: Valid Property/Value Pairs for 2D Revolve Data Sets

name	Value	Default	Description
data	none | data set name	First compatible data set	The data set this feature refers to
method	twopoint | pointdir	twopoint	Decides if the line should be specified by two points or through one point and a direction
genpoints	double matrix	{{0, 0, 0}, {1,0,0}}	Active when method equals twopoint, this property contains the coordinates of the two points in the two rows of the matrix
layermethod	coarse | custom | fine | normal	normal	The method used for choosing how many layers to use
pddir	String array	{"0","1"}	Active when method equals pointdir, this property contains the direction
pdpoint	String array	{"0","0"}	Active when method equals pointdir, this property contains the coordinates of the point.
revlayers	integer >= 3	50	The number of revolution layers if layermethod is custom
