Method detail

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

Position of the evaluation.

Returns:

Point3D

Point that lies on the ellipse at this evaluation.

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

Tangent of the evaluation.

Returns:

UnitVector3D

Tangent unit vector to the ellipse at this evaluation.

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

Normal of the evaluation.

Returns:

UnitVector3D

Normal unit vector to the ellipse at this evaluation.

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

Girst 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.

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

Second derivative of the evaluation.

Returns:

Vector3D

Second derivative of the evaluation.

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

Curvature of the ellipse.

Returns:

Real

Curvature of the ellipse.
