cylindrical

Module: core

Category: vec3dvaluator

Type string: "cylindrical"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
center center {0,0,0} []
axis axis {0,0,1} []
vector vector {1,0,0} []

Description

This valuator generates a unique vector in a cylindrical distribution. The center parameter sets a point on the axis. The axis parameter defines the orientation of the axis. The vector parameter is a vector that will be transported around the axis.

The following example defines a fiber property using the cylindrical vector valuator.

<fiber type="cylindrical">
  <center>0,0,0</center>
  <axis>0,0,1</axis>
  <vector>0,1,0</vector>
</fiber>
