ECone

Create a solid or surface eccentric oblique cone or frustum in 3D.

Syntax

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ECone");

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).setAttribute(attribute,<value>);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getAttribute(attribute);

Description

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ECone") to create an eccentric oblique cone. The following properties are available:

Table 3-64: Valid Property/Value Pairs
Property	Value	Default	Description
angle	double	360	Ellipse sector angle.
axis	double[]	{0,0,1}	Direction of the normal to the bottom ellipse. Vector has length 3 if axistype is cartesian, and length 2 if axistype is spherical.
axistype	x \| y \| z \| cartesian \| spherical	z	Coordinate system used for axis. The value is synchronized with axis.
color	none \| custom \| integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme	none	The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult in active.
customcolor	RGB-triplet	Next available theme color	The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
displ	double[2]	{0,0}	Displacement of top ellipse relative to bottom ellipse in the local coordinate system.
h	double	1	Height.
pos	double[3]	{0,0,0}	Center of the bottom ellipse.
r	double	1	Radius of bottom ellipse.
rat	double	0.5	Ratio between perimeter for top ellipse and bottom ellipse.
rot	double	0	Rotational angle about axis.
semiaxes	double[2]	{1,1}	Semiaxes of bottom ellipse.
type	solid \| surface	solid	Object type.
selresult	on \| off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all \| obj \| dom \| bnd \| edg \| pnt \| off	dom	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.
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.
workplane	xyplane \| work-plane feature	xyplane	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.

The following attributes are available:

Name	Value	Default	Description
construction	on \| off	off	Designate the resulting objects as construction geometry.

Compatibility

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"econe3") creates a solid eccentric cone.

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"econe2") creates a surface eccentric cone.

The following properties are also available:

a, b	double	1	Alias for semiaxes.
ax2	double[]	{0,0}	Alias for axis when axistype is spherical.
ax3	double[]	{0,0,1}	Alias for axis when axistype is cartesian.
x, y, z	double	0	Alias for pos.
