CIRC
CIRC, circ_name, b_opt, body_nr, mat_nr, layer_nr, xm, ym, r1, r2, phi1, phi2, orient_ang;
Creates a circular primitive for mass bodies or anchors
- The primitive can be a circular area, a ring with inner and outer radii or a sector of both defined by the starting and span angle.
- Mass bodies and anchors may be assembled from several primitives with different material reference numbers.
Input Data⚓︎
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
circ_name |
Reference name of the primitive (can be empty) → Alphanumeric name, has to start with a letter |
b_opt |
Type of the Boolean operation add → Add a primitive to the mass body or anchor sub → Subtract a primitive from a mass body or anchor |
body_nr |
Reference number of related mass body or anchor → If 0, the primitive is related to anchors → If > 0, the primitive is related to the specified mass body |
mat_nr |
Reference number of the material properties → Use existing material properties only (see MATP command) |
layer_nr |
Layer number (the current version supports only one layer) → If empty, the primitive is part of the first layer |
xm |
X-coordinate of the center point of the circular primitive |
ym |
Y-coordinate of the center point of the circular primitive |
r1 |
First radius of the circular primitive |
r2 |
Second radius of the circular primitive → If empty or r2=0, it defines a solid circular primitive |
phi1 |
Starting angle of the circular segment, 0 ≤ phi1 < 360 |
phi2 |
Span angle of the circular segment, 0 < phi2 ≤ 360 |
orient_ang |
Orientation angle in degrees at the connecting point: 0 ≤ orient_ang < 360 |
