SketchEdge

class ansys.geometry.core.sketch.edge.SketchEdge

Provides for modeling edges forming sketched shapes.

Overview

Methods

plane_change

Redefine the plane containing SketchEdge objects.

Properties

start	Starting point of the edge.
end	Ending point of the edge.
length	Length of the edge.
visualization_polydata	VTK polydata representation for PyVista visualization.

Import detail

from ansys.geometry.core.sketch.edge import SketchEdge

Property detail

property SketchEdge.start: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point2D

Abstractmethod:

Starting point of the edge.

property SketchEdge.end: ansys.geometry.core.math.point.Point2D

Abstractmethod:

Ending point of the edge.

property SketchEdge.length: pint.Quantity

Abstractmethod:

Length of the edge.

property SketchEdge.visualization_polydata: pyvista.PolyData

Abstractmethod:

VTK polydata representation for PyVista visualization.

The representation lies in the X/Y plane within the standard global Cartesian coordinate system.

Returns:

pyvista.PolyData

VTK pyvista.Polydata configuration.

Method detail

SketchEdge.plane_change(plane: ansys.geometry.core.math.plane.Plane) → None

Redefine the plane containing SketchEdge objects.

Parameters:

planePlane

Desired new plane that is to contain the sketched edge.

Notes

This implies that their 3D definition might suffer changes. By default, this metho does nothing. It is required to be implemented in child SketchEdge classes.
