TrimmedSurface

class ansys.geometry.core.shapes.surfaces.trimmed_surface.TrimmedSurface(geometry: ansys.geometry.core.shapes.surfaces.surface.Surface, box_uv: ansys.geometry.core.shapes.box_uv.BoxUV)

Represents a trimmed surface.

A trimmed surface is a surface that has a boundary. This boundary comes in the form of a bounding BoxUV.

Parameters:

faceFace

Face that the trimmed surface belongs to.

geometrySurface

Underlying mathematical representation of the surface.

Overview

Methods

get_proportional_parameters	Convert non-proportional parameters into proportional parameters.
normal	Provide the normal to the surface.
project_point	Project a point onto the surface and evaluate it at that location.
evaluate_proportion	Evaluate the surface at proportional u and v parameters.

Properties

geometry	Underlying mathematical surface.
box_uv	Bounding BoxUV of the surface.
