create_torus#

Modeler3D.create_torus(origin, major_radius, minor_radius, axis=None, name=None, material=None, **kwargs)#

Create a torus.

Parameters:

originlist: Center point for the torus in a list of [x, y, z] coordinates.
major_radiusfloat: Major radius of the torus.
minor_radiusfloat: Minor radius of the torus.
axisstr, optional: Axis of revolution. The default is None, in which case the Z axis is used.
namestr, optional: Name of the torus. The default is None, in which case the default name is assigned.
materialstr, optional: Name of the material. The default is None, in which case the default material is assigned. If the material name supplied is invalid, the default material 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 or bool: 3D object or False if it fails.

Examples

Create a torus named "mytorus" about the Z axis with a major radius of 1 , minor radius of 0.5, and a material of "copper". The optional parameter matname allows you to set the material name of the sphere. The optional parameter name allows you to give a name to the sphere.

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

>>> from ansys.aedt.core import Hfss
>>> hfss = Hfss()
>>> origin = [0, 0, 0]
>>> torus = hfss.modeler.create_torus(origin=origin,major_radius=1,minor_radius=0.5,
