Method detail

CircleEvaluation.position() → ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D

Position of the evaluation.

Returns:

Point3D

Point that lies on the circle at this evaluation.

CircleEvaluation.tangent() → ansys.geometry.core.math.vector.UnitVector3D

Tangent of the evaluation.

Returns:

UnitVector3D

Tangent unit vector to the circle at this evaluation.

CircleEvaluation.normal() → ansys.geometry.core.math.vector.UnitVector3D

Normal to the circle.

Returns:

UnitVector3D

Normal unit vector to the circle at this evaluation.

CircleEvaluation.first_derivative() → ansys.geometry.core.math.vector.Vector3D

First derivative of the evaluation.

The first derivative is in the direction of the tangent and has a magnitude equal to the velocity (rate of change of position) at that point.

Returns:

Vector3D

First derivative of the evaluation.

CircleEvaluation.second_derivative() → ansys.geometry.core.math.vector.Vector3D

Second derivative of the evaluation.

Returns:

Vector3D

Second derivative of the evaluation.

CircleEvaluation.curvature() → ansys.geometry.core.typing.Real

Curvature of the circle.

Returns:

Real

Curvature of the circle.
