create_equationbased_surface

Modeler3D.create_equationbased_surface(x_uv=0, y_uv=0, z_uv=0, u_start=0, u_end=1, v_start=0, v_end=1, name=None, **kwargs)

Create an equation-based surface.

Parameters:

x_uvstr or float

Expression for the X-component of the surface as a function of "_u,_v". For example, "cos(_u) * sin(_v)".

y_uvstr or float

Expression for the Y-component of the surface as a function of "_u,_v"

z_uvstr or float

Expression for the Z-component of the surface as a function of "_u,_v"

u_startstr or float

Starting value of the parameter "_u".

u_endstr or float

Ending value of the parameter "_u".

v_startstr or float

Starting value of the parameter "_v".

v_endstr or float

Ending value of the parameter "_v".

namestr, optional

Name of the created surface in the 3D modeler. The default is None, in which case the default name is assigned.

**kwargsoptional

Additional keyword arguments may be passed when creating the primitive to set properties. See ansys.aedt.core.modeler.cad.object_3d.Object3d for more details.

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modeler.cad.object_3d.Object3d

3D object.

Examples

The optional parameter matname allows you to set the material name. The optional parameter name allows you to assign a name to the surface.

This method applies to all 3D applications: HFSS, Q3D, Icepak, Maxwell 3D, and Mechanical.
