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
