2.3.3.3.55. NXcg_cylinder_set

Status:

base class, extends NXcg_primitive_set

Description:

Computational geometry description of a set of cylinders. ...

Computational geometry description of a set of cylinders.

The radius can either be defined in the radii field or by filling both the upper_cap_radii or lower_cap_radii field. The latter field case can thus be used to represent truncated cones.

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.

Groups cited:

none

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.

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

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 areas and lateral surface area ...

Sum of upper and lower cap areas and lateral surface area of each cylinder.
