2.3.3.3.48. NXcg_cylinder¶
Status:
base class (contribution), extends NXcg_primitive
Description:
Computational geometry description of a set of cylinders or (truncated) cones. ...
Computational geometry description of a set of cylinders or (truncated) cones.
The radius can either be defined in the radii field or by filling the upper_cap_radii and lower_cap_radii fields respectively. The latter field case can thus be used to represent (truncated) cones.
It is possible to define only one of the cap_radii fields to represent half-open cylinder.
Symbols:
The symbols used in the schema to specify e.g. dimensions of arrays.
d: The dimensionality of the space in which the members are assumed embedded.
c: The cardinality of the set, i.e. the number of members.

Structure:
height: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 2, Dimensions: [c, d]) {units=NX_LENGTH} ⤆
A direction vector which is parallel to the cylinder/cone axis ...
A direction vector which is parallel to the cylinder/cone axis and whose magnitude is the height of the cylinder/cone.
The upper_cap is assumed to represent the end while the lower_cap is assumed to represent the start of the respective cylinder instances when inspecting along the direction vector.
radius: (optional) NX_NUMBER {units=NX_LENGTH}
Radius of the cylinder if all have the same radius.
radii: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [c]) {units=NX_LENGTH}
Radii of the cylinder.
upper_cap_radii: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [c]) {units=NX_LENGTH}
Radii of the upper circular cap. ...
Radii of the upper circular cap.
This field, combined with lower_cap_radius can be used to describe (eventually truncated) circular cones.
lower_cap_radii: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [c]) {units=NX_LENGTH}
Radii of the upper circular cap. ...
Radii of the upper circular cap.
This field, combined with upper_cap_radius can be used to describe (eventually truncated) circular cones.
lateral_surface_area: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [c]) {units=NX_AREA}
Lateral surface area of each cylinder.
upper_cap_surface_area: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [c]) {units=NX_AREA}
Area of the upper cap of each cylinder.
lower_cap_surface_area: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [c]) {units=NX_AREA}
Area of the lower cap of each cylinder.
total_surface_area: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [c]) {units=NX_AREA}
Sum of upper and lower cap area and lateral surface area of each cylinder.
