Hello!
In the latest release, there was an ElliCylinder class, but sometimes an ellipse is required for 2d tasks, how can I get it?
Unfortunately SimNet’s constructive solid geometry module does not currently support 2D elliptical geometries.
Hi, we have implemented the 2D ellipse class for you and this will be available in the next SimNet release. For now you can use the attached code.
ellipse_2d.py (1.2 KB)
Hi, I just added the ellipse2d code. I modified the clyinder2d code and replaced it with the ellipse. I got a reasonable result but the sampling points are lesser than before.
I checked the code:
area=pimajorminor
However, in the circle class, it is:
area=2piradius
Does the area actually mean perimeter here? In this case, the area for the ellipse should be the perimeter, instead of the actual area.
Hope the developer can clarify. Thanks.
