DatumPlane

class ansys.geometry.core.designer.datumplane.DatumPlane(id: str, name: str, plane: ansys.geometry.core.math.plane.Plane, parent_component: ansys.geometry.core.designer.component.Component)

Provides for creating datum planes in components.

Parameters:

idstr

Server-defined ID for the datum plane.

namestr

User-defined label for the datum plane.

planePlane

Plane constituting the datum plane.

parent_componentComponent

Parent component to place the new datum plane under within the design assembly.

Overview

Methods

evaluate

Properties

id	ID of the datum plane.
name	Name of the datum plane.
value	Plane constituting the datum plane.
parent_component	Parent component of the datum plane.
is_alive	Check if the datum plane is still present on the server.

Special methods

Represent the datum plane as a string.

Import detail

from ansys.geometry.core.designer.datumplane import DatumPlane

Property detail

property DatumPlane.id: str

ID of the datum plane.

property DatumPlane.name: str

Name of the datum plane.

property DatumPlane.value: ansys.geometry.core.math.plane.Plane

Plane constituting the datum plane.

Method detail

DatumPlane.evaluate(u: float, v: float) → ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D

Evaluate the plane at UV parametric coordinates.

This method converts 2D parametric coordinates (u, v) to a 3D Cartesian point on the plane using the parametric equation: P(u, v) = origin + u * direction_x + v * direction_y

Parameters:

ufloat

First parametric coordinate along the plane’s x-direction.

vfloat

Second parametric coordinate along the plane’s y-direction.

Returns:

Point3D

3D Cartesian point on the plane at the given UV coordinates.

DatumPlane.__repr__()

Represent the datum plane as a string.
