`Surface`#

class ansys.geometry.core.shapes.surfaces.surface.Surface#

Provides the abstract base class for a 3D surface.

Overview#

Abstract methods

`parameterization`	Parameterize the surface as a tuple (U and V respectively).
`contains_param`	Check a parameter is within the parametric range of the surface.
`contains_point`	Check a point is contained by the surface.
`transformed_copy`	Create a transformed copy of the surface.
`__eq__`	Determine if two surfaces are equal.
`evaluate`	Evaluate the surface at the given parameter.
`project_point`	Project a point to the surface.

Methods

Trim this surface by bounding it with a BoxUV.

from ansys.geometry.core.shapes.surfaces.surface import Surface

abstract Surface.parameterization() → beartype.typing.Tuple[ansys.geometry.core.shapes.parameterization.Parameterization, ansys.geometry.core.shapes.parameterization.Parameterization]#: Parameterize the surface as a tuple (U and V respectively).

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

abstract Surface.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.

abstract Surface.transformed_copy(matrix: ansys.geometry.core.math.matrix.Matrix44) → Surface#: Create a transformed copy of the surface.

abstract Surface.__eq__(other: Surface) → bool#: Determine if two surfaces are equal.

abstract Surface.evaluate(parameter: ansys.geometry.core.shapes.parameterization.ParamUV) → ansys.geometry.core.shapes.surfaces.surface_evaluation.SurfaceEvaluation#: Evaluate the surface at the given parameter.

Project a point to the surface.

This method returns the evaluation at the closest point.

Trim this surface by bounding it with a BoxUV.
