Tetrahedron
Create a solid or surface tetrahedron in 3D.
Syntax
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>)create(<ftag>,"Tetrahedron");
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>,"Tetrahedron") to create a tetrahedron. The following properties are available:
none | custom | integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme
The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
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.
solid | surface
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.
The following attributes are available:

on | off
Compatibility
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"tetrahedron3") creates a solid tetrahedron.
model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"tetrahedron2") creates a surface tetrahedron.
Example
The following commands generate a solid tetrahedron object:
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("t1","Tetrahedron");
g.feature("t1").set("p", new double[][]{{0,0,1,0},{0,0.8,1,0},{0,0.1,0,0.2}});
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('t1','Tetrahedron');
g.feature('t1').set('p', [[0,0,1,0];[0,0.8,1,0];[0,0.1,0,0.2]]);
g.run;
