Make blocks for a cylinder and a pipe

Make blocks for a cylinder

elts = doc.makeCylinder(cyl, vb, nr, na, nl)

cyl: cylinder

vb: vector on the base of the cylinder to start hexahedra.

nr: number of blocks on radial.

na: number of angular section.

nl: number of blocks along the axis of the cylinder.

Example

import hexablock
doc = hexablock.addDocument()

base = doc.addVertex(0, 0, 0)
direction = doc.addVector(0, 0, 1)
radius = 4
height = 5

cyl = doc.addCylinder(base, direction, radius, height)

vb = doc.addVector(1, 0, 0)
nr = radius
na = 9
nl = height
elts = doc.makeCylinder(cyl, vb, nr, na, nl)

Cylinder

Make blocks for a pipe

elts = doc.makePipe(pi, vb, nr, na, nl)

Example

import hexablock
doc = hexablock.addDocument()

orig = doc.addVertex(50, 0, 0)
vz = doc.addVector(0, 0, 1)
int_radius = 3
ext_radius = 4
height = 5
pi = doc.addPipe(orig, vz, int_radius, ext_radius, height)

vb = doc.addVector(1, 0, 0)
nr = 4
na = 9
nl = 5
elts = doc.makePipe(pi, vb, nr, na, nl)
