DesignCurve

class ansys.geometry.core.designer.designcurve.DesignCurve(id: str, name: str, length: ansys.geometry.core.misc.measurements.Distance, start: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D, end: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D, grpc_client: ansys.geometry.core.connection.client.GrpcClient, parent_component: ansys.geometry.core.designer.component.Component)

Represents a standalone curve within the design assembly.

Unlike edges, which are always attached to a body, a DesignCurve is a free-standing curve object that lives directly under the root design object or a component in the design tree. These are typically created by operations such as revolving design points.

Parameters:

idstr

Server-defined ID for the curve.

namestr

User-defined label for the curve.

lengthDistance

Length of the curve.

startPoint3D

Start point of the curve.

endPoint3D

End point of the curve.

grpc_clientGrpcClient

gRPC client for communicating with the server.

parent_componentComponent

Parent component that the curve belongs to in the design assembly.

Overview

Properties

id	ID of the design curve.
name	Name of the design curve.
parent_component	Parent component of the design curve.
is_alive	Flag indicating whether the design curve is still present on the server.
shape	Underlying trimmed curve geometry of the design curve.
length	Calculated length of the design curve.
start	Start point of the design curve.
end	End point of the design curve.

Special methods

__repr__

Represent the design curve as a string.

Import detail

from ansys.geometry.core.designer.designcurve import DesignCurve

Property detail

property DesignCurve.id: str

ID of the design curve.

property DesignCurve.name: str

Name of the design curve.

property DesignCurve.parent_component: ansys.geometry.core.designer.component.Component

Parent component of the design curve.

property DesignCurve.is_alive: bool

Flag indicating whether the design curve is still present on the server.

property DesignCurve.shape: ansys.geometry.core.shapes.curves.trimmed_curve.TrimmedCurve

Underlying trimmed curve geometry of the design curve.

The shape is fetched from the server on first access and then cached.

property DesignCurve.length: ansys.geometry.core.misc.measurements.Distance

Calculated length of the design curve.

property DesignCurve.start: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D

Start point of the design curve.

property DesignCurve.end: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D

End point of the design curve.
