Method detail#

Cone.transformed_copy(matrix: ansys.geometry.core.math.matrix.Matrix44) → Cone#

Create a transformed copy of the cone from a transformation matrix.

Parameters:

matrixMatrix44: 4x4 transformation matrix to apply to the cone.

Returns:

Cone: New cone that is the transformed copy of the original cone.

Cone.mirrored_copy() → Cone#

Create a mirrored copy of the cone along the y-axis.

Returns:

Cone: New cone that is a mirrored copy of the original cone.

Cone.__eq__(other: Cone) → bool#: Equals operator for the Cone class.

Cone.evaluate(parameter: ansys.geometry.core.shapes.parameterization.ParamUV) → ConeEvaluation#

Evaluate the cone at given parameters.

Parameters:

parameterParamUV: Parameters (u,v) to evaluate the cone at.

Returns:

ConeEvaluation: Resulting evaluation.

Cone.project_point(point: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point3D) → ConeEvaluation#

Project a point onto the cone and evaluate the cone.

Parameters:

pointPoint3D: Point to project onto the cone.

Returns:

ConeEvaluation: Resulting evaluation.

Cone.parameterization() → tuple[ansys.geometry.core.shapes.parameterization.Parameterization, ansys.geometry.core.shapes.parameterization.Parameterization]#

Parameterize the cone surface as a tuple (U and V respectively).

The U parameter specifies the clockwise angle around the axis (right-hand corkscrew law), with a zero parameter at dir_x and a period of 2*pi.

The V parameter specifies the distance along the axis, with a zero parameter at the XY plane of the cone.

Returns:

tuple[Parameterization, Parameterization]: Information about how a cone’s u and v parameters are parameterized, respectively.

abstract Cone.contains_param(param_uv: ansys.geometry.core.shapes.parameterization.ParamUV) → bool#: Check a parameter is within the parametric range of the surface.

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

Check a point is contained by the surface.

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