create_cone#

Modeler3D.create_cone(cs_axis, position, bottom_radius, top_radius, height, name=None, matname=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Create a cone.

Parameters:

cs_axisstr: Axis of rotation of the starting point around the center point. The default is None, in which case the Z axis is used.
positionlist, optional: List of [x, y, z] coordinates for the center position of the bottom of the cone.
bottom_radiusfloat: Bottom radius of the cone.
top_radiusfloat: Top radius of the cone.
heightfloat: Height of the cone.
namestr, optional: Name of the cone. The default is None, in which case the default name is assigned.
matnamestr, optional: Name of the material. The default is None, in which case the default material is assigned.

Returns:

bool, pyaedt.modeler.cad.object3d.Object3d: 3D object or False if it fails.

Examples

This example shows how to create a cone in HFSS. The required parameters are cs_axis, position, bottom_radius, and top_radius. The cs_axis parameter provides the direction axis of the cone. The position parameter provides the starting point of the cone. The bottom_radius and top_radius parameters provide the radius and `eight of the cone.

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

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