Point
Create a point object in 1D, 2D, or 3D.
Syntax
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Point");
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>,"Point") to create one or more points. The following property is available:

property Value
Default
Description
p
double[] | double[][]
0
Coordinates.
selresult
on | off
off
Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow
all | obj | bnd | pnt | off
pnt in 2D and 3D; bnd in 1D
Show selections, if selresult is on, in physics, materials, and so on; in part instances; or in 3D from a plane geometry. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
contributeto
String
none
Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.
workplanesrc
this | Part Instance feature
this
Part Instance feature to take the work plane from (in 3D only).
workplane
xyplane | Work plane feature
xyplane
Work Plane feature that defines the coordinate system (in 3D only). The default, xyplane, is the global Cartesian coordinate system.
If p is a one-dimensional array, a single point with these coordinates is constructed. If p is a two-dimensional array, a point object containing several points is constructed, where the nth point has ith coordinate p[i][n].
For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.
Additional properties are available with the Design Module, see Point.
Compatibility
The following aliases work in 1D, 2D, and 3D, respectively:
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"point1");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"point2");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"point3");
Example
The following commands generate a point at (1, 2) in a 2D geometry:
Code for Use with Java
Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");
model.component().create("comp1");
GeomSequence g = model.component("comp1").geom().create("geom1",2);
g.create("p1","Point");
g.feature("p1").set("p",new double[][]{{1},{2}});
g.run();
Code for Use with MATLAB
model = ModelUtil.create('Model1');
model.component.create('comp1');
g = model.component('comp1').geom.create('geom1',2);
g.create('p1','Point');
g.feature('p1').set('p',[1,2]);
g.run;
