DeformableCurve
Class DeformableCurve()
DeformableCurve(parent='MODEL', name='DeformableCurve_n', label='DeformableCurve_n',
active=True, itype='MARKER', markers=None, bodies=None, points=None, end_type_left='NATURAL',
end_type_right='NATURAL', lambda_left=0, lambda_right=0, uspan=0)
Three dimensional deformable curve.
Keyword Arguments
Argument | Data Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
name | String | The variable name. | DeformableCurve_n, for next available integer n. |
label | String | The descriptive label. | DeformableCurve_n, for next available integer n. |
parent | Object | The parent. | MODEL |
active | Boolean | Used to activate or deactivate this entity. | True |
itype | Enum | The type of deformable curve. One of BODYPT or MARKER. | MARKER |
markers | Marker | The ordered list of markers that form the curve in 3D space when itype is MARKER. | None |
bodies | Body | The ordered list of bodies that form the curve in 3D space when itype is BODYPT. | None |
points | Point | The ordered list of points that form the curve in 3D space when itype is BODYPT. | None |
end_type_left | Enum | The type of end condition on left end. One of NATURAL, PARABOLIC, PERIODIC, CANTILEVER. | NATURAL |
end_type_right | Enum | The type of end condition on right end. One of NATURAL, PARABOLIC, PERIODIC, CANTILEVER. | NATURAL |
lambda_left | Double | The condition for the CUBIC spline interpolation at the left end. This is required only in the case of CANTILEVER curve end. | 0 |
lambda_right | Double | The condition for the CUBIC spline interpolation at the right end. This is required only in the case of CANTILEVER curve end. | 0 |
uspan | Double | The span of the curve. | 0 |
Notes
- The parent parameter can only be initialized by the constructor and should not be modified directly.
- Only parent can be used as a positional argument in the constructor.
Examples
>>> # Import mview module
>>> from hw import mview
>>> #Create a body and get values
>>> d1 = mview.DeformableCurve(name='defc_1',label='defc_1')
>>> d1.end_type_left
'NATURAL'
>>> d1.end_type_right
'NATURAL'
>>> d1.markers[0].name
'Global_Frame'
>>> m1= mview.Marker(name='m_1')
>>> m1.name
'm_1'
>>> gb = mview.getModel().Global_Frame
>>> d1.markers = [gb, m1, m1]
>>> d1.itype = 'BODYPT'
>>> d1.bodies[0].name
'B_Ground'
>>> d1.points[0].name
'P_Global_Origin'
