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.
