Generating complex objects

Generation operations in GEOM are used to create advanced geometrical objects (3D elements). They are:

 

 

To use generation operations:

 

In the main menu select New Entity > Generation.

 

Prism

Description: Creates an extruded shape.

 

Result: GEOM_Shape (edge, face, solid or compsolid).

 

TUI Command : geompy.MakePrism(GEOM_Shape, PointStruct, PointStruct)

 

Arguments: 1 shape (vertex, edge, wire, face or shell) serving as base object + 1 vector (for direction) + 1 value (dimension).

 

Dialog Box:

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

Revolution

Description: Creates an extruded shape by revolution.

 

Result: GEOM_Shape (edge, face, solid or compsolid).

 

TUI Command: geompy.MakeRevolution(GEOM_Shape, AxisStruct, Double)

 

Arguments: 1 shape (vertex, edge, wire, face or shell) serving as base object + 1 vector (for direction) + 1 value (angle).

Filling

 

Description: Creates a curving face using several curves.

 

Result: GEOM_Shape (face).

 

TUI Command: geompy.MakeFilling(GEOM_Shape, Short, Short, Double, Double, Short)

 

Arguments: 1 List of edges + 5 Parameters (Min. degree, Max. degree, Number of iterations, 2D tolerance, 3D tolerance).

Pipe

Description: Creates an extruded shape.

 

Result: GEOM_Shape (edge, face, solid or compsolid).

 

TUI Command: geompy.MakePipe(GEOM_Shape, GEOM_Shape)

 

Arguments: 1 shape (vertex, edge, wire, face or shell) serving as base object + 1 shape (edge, face or shell) for definition of the path.
