`Curve`#

class ansys.geometry.core.shapes.curves.curve.Curve#

Provides the abstract base class representing a 3D curve.

Overview#

Abstract methods

`parameterization`	Parameterize the curve.
`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 this curve by bounding it with an interval.

from ansys.geometry.core.shapes.curves.curve import Curve

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.

Project a point to the curve.

This method returns the evaluation at the closest point.

Trim this curve by bounding it with an interval.
