Thicken
Generate a solid object by thickening in the normal direction a surface object in 3D.
Syntax
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature().
    create(<ftag>,"Thicken");
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).
    selection(property);
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
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature().
      create(<ftag>,"Thicken")
creates a Thicken feature.
Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).
selection("input")
to select the objects for the thicken operation. The default selection is empty.
symmetric | asymmetric
normal | vector
on | off
on | off
all | obj | dom | bnd | edg | pnt | off
Show selections 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.
For information about the createselection and contributeto properties, search the online help in COMSOL Multiphysics to locate and search all the documentation.
The following attributes are available:
Table 3-81: Valid attributes
on | off | inherit
Designate the resulting objects as construction geometry. Use inherit to set the construction geometry attribute only if all input objects are construction geometry.
Example
Create a cylinder by thickening a disc shaped surface:
Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");
model.component.create("comp1");
model.component("comp1").geom().create("geom1",3);
model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").geomRep("cadps");
model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").feature().
      create("wp1", "WorkPlane");
model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").feature("wp1").geom().
      create("c1", "Circle");
model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").create("thi1", "Thicken");
model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").feature("thi1").
      selection("input").set(new String[]{"wp1"});
model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").feature("thi1").
      set("totalthick", "0.1");
model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").feature("thi1").
      set("direction", "vector");
model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").feature("thi1").
      set("dirvector", new String[]{"1", "0", "1"});
model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").run();
