Cylinder

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifCreate a shell or solid type cylinder.

 

Methodology

 

 

 

 

Create a cylinder from the Origin Point(OP), Radius(R), Height(H) and Angle(A) input.

[Origin Point (OP)]

The Origin point consists of the Center point coordinates of the bottom face of the cylinder. The user can directly specify the center point of the workplane or geometry shape by selecting the points with the mouse. Because the workspace is 2-dimensional, the y axis value is not entered.

[Angle (A)]

The angle is the rotation angle of the circle between the top and bottom face of the cylinder. If the user enters 360, it creates a generic cylinder with circular top and bottom faces.

 

Make Solid

Check this option to create a solid type cylinder with a volume. Un-checking the option will create a shell type cylinder.

  • GCS

Enter the center coordinates with reference to the Global coordinate system. In this case, the center coordinates are input in 3D space.  

  • WCS

Enter the center coordinates with reference to the Workplane coordinate system. In this case, the center coordinates are input in 2D space.

For GCS (Global coordinate system) and WCS (Workplane coordinate system), please refer to General information-Manage modeling toolset.

 

Geometry set

Register the created cylinder on the Geometry set. The user can specify the name of the Geometry set.
