Torus
Create a solid or surface torus in 3D.
Syntax
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Torus");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);
Description
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Torus") to create a torus. The following properties are available:
Direction of the revolution axis. Vector has length 3 if axistype is cartesian, and length 2 if axistype is spherical.
x | y | z | cartesian | spherical
on | off
solid | surface
on | off
all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off
Show selections, if selresult is on, of resulting objects in physics, materials, and so on, or in part instances. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
this | Part Instance feature
xyplane | Work plane feature
Work Plane feature that defines the coordinate system. The default, xyplane, is the global Cartesian coordinate system.
For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.
Compatibility
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"torus3") creates a solid torus.
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"torus2") creates a surface torus.
The following properties are also available:
Alias for axis when axistype is spherical.
Alias for axis when axistype is cartesian.
x, y, z
The property const is no longer available.
Example
The following sequence generates a surface torus and a solid torus:
Code for Use with Java
Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");
model.component().create("comp1");
GeomSequence g = model.component("comp1").geom().create("geom1",3);
g.create("t2","Torus");
g.feature("t2").set("type","surface");
g.feature("t2").set("rmaj",2);
g.feature("t2").set("rmin",1);
 
g.create("t3","Torus");
g.feature("t3").set("rmaj",10);
g.feature("t3").set("rmin",2);
g.feature("t3").set("pos","0,0,-100");
g.feature("t3").set("axis","1,1,1");
g.feature("t3").set("rot",60);
g.run();
Code for Use with MATLAB
model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');
model.component.create('comp1');
g = model.component('comp1').geom.create('geom1',3);
g.create('t2','Torus');
g.feature('t2').set('type','surface');
g.feature('t2').set('rmaj',2);
g.feature('t2').set('rmin',1);
 
g.create('t3','Torus');
g.feature('t3').set('rmaj',10);
g.feature('t3').set('rmin',2);
g.feature('t3').set('pos','0,0,-100');
g.feature('t3').set('axis','1,1,1');
g.feature('t3').set('rot',60);
g.run;
