contains_param	Check a parameter is within the parametric range of the curve.
contains_point	Check a point is contained by the curve.
transformed_copy	Create a transformed copy of the curve.
__eq__	Determine if two curves are equal.
evaluate	Evaluate the curve at the given parameter.
project_point	Project a point to the curve.

Methods

trim	Trim this curve by bounding it with an interval.

Method detail

abstract Curve.parameterization() → ansys.geometry.core.shapes.parameterization.Parameterization

Parameterize the curve.

abstract Curve.contains_param(param: ansys.geometry.core.typing.Real) → bool

Check a parameter is within the parametric range of the curve.

abstract Curve.contains_point(point: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D) → bool

Check a point is contained by the curve.

The point can either lie within the curve or on its boundary.

abstract Curve.transformed_copy(matrix: ansys.geometry.core.math.matrix.Matrix44) → Curve

Create a transformed copy of the curve.

abstract Curve.__eq__(other: Curve) → bool

Determine if two curves are equal.

abstract Curve.evaluate(parameter: ansys.geometry.core.typing.Real) → ansys.geometry.core.shapes.curves.curve_evaluation.CurveEvaluation

Evaluate the curve at the given parameter.

abstract Curve.project_point(point: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D) → ansys.geometry.core.shapes.curves.curve_evaluation.CurveEvaluation

Project a point to the curve.

This method returns the evaluation at the closest point.

Curve.trim(interval: ansys.geometry.core.shapes.parameterization.Interval) → ansys.geometry.core.shapes.curves.trimmed_curve.TrimmedCurve

Trim this curve by bounding it with an interval.

Returns:

TrimmedCurve

The resulting bounded curve.
