Line Constructors

Sample: KwrLineConstructors

  • inertiaAxis (rank: Integer, Body, ...): Line
    Enables you to determine the inertia axis of a body.

Example:
Geometrical Set.1\Line.9 = inertiaAxis (1 , `PartBody`)

  • line (Point, Point): Line
    Creates a line from two points.

Example:
Geometrical Set.1\Line_Point_Point = line (`Geometrical Set.1\Point.1`, `Geometrical Set.1\Point.2`)

  • line (pt: Point, dir: Direction, start: Length, end: Length, orientation: Boolean): Line
    Creates a line passing through a point and parallel to a direction.
    The third and fourth arguments are used to specify the start and end points.
    The last argument allows you to reverse the line direction.

Example:
Geometrical Set.1\Line.13   =
line (`Geometrical Set.1\Point.2` , direction (`zx plane`), 0mm, 20mm, false)

  • lineangle (crv: Curve, sur: Surface, pt: Point, geodesic: Boolean, start: Length, end: Length, angle: Angle, orientation: Boolean): Line
    Creates a line passing through a point, tangent to a surface and making a given angle with a curve. When the geodesic argument is set to true, a geodesic line is created (projected) onto the surface.

Example:
Geometrical Set.1\Line.1  = lineangle (Geometrical Set.1\Spline.1 , Geometrical Set.1\Extrude.1 , Geometrical Set.1\Point.4, false, 0mm, 50mm, 80deg, false)

  • linetangent (crv: Curve, pt: Point, start: Length, end: Length, orientation: Boolean): Line
    Creates a line tangent to curve at a given point.

Example:
Geometrical Set.1\Line.11 = linetangent (`Geometrical Set.1\Spline.1`, `Geometrical Set.1\Point.6`,0mm, 30mm, true)

  • linenormal (sur: Surface, pt: Point, start: Length, end: Length, orientation: Boolean): Line
    Creates a line normal to a surface at a given point.

Example:
linenormal = linenormal (`Geometrical Set.1\Extrude.1` ,`Geometrical Set.1\Point.2` ,10mm,16mm, true)

  • mainnormal (crv: Curve, pt: Point): Line
    Creates a line normal to a curve at a given point.
    The line is created  in the plane which contains the tangent vector.

Example:
Geometrical Set.1\Line.10 = mainnormal (`Geometrical Set.1\Spline.1`, `Geometrical Set.1\Point.6`)

  • binormal (crv: Curve, pt: Point): Line
    Creates a line normal to a curve at a given point.
    The line is created  in plane which is orthogonal to the tangent vector.

Example:
Geometrical Set.1\Line.8 = binormal (`Geometrical Set.1\Spline.1`, `Geometrical Set.1\Point.6`)
