A class representing a 3D B-spline surface.

A B-spline surface is a smooth surface defined by a set of control points and a set of basis functions called B-spline basis functions. The shape of the surface is determined by the position of the control points and can be modified by moving the control points.

• degree_v (int) – The degree of the B-spline curve in the v direction.

• nb_v (int) – The number of control points in the v direction.

• u_knots (List[float]) – A list of knots in the u direction. The knots are real numbers that define the position of the control points along the u direction.

• v_knots (List[float]) – A list of knots in the v direction. The knots are real numbers that define the position of the control points along the v direction.

• weights (List[float]) – (optional) A list of weights for the control points. The weights can be used to adjust the influence of each control point on the shape of the surface. Default is None.

class design3d.surfaces.ConicalSurface3D(frame: Frame3D, semi_angle: float, ref_radius: float = 0.0, name: str = '')

Bases: UPeriodicalSurface

Describes a cone.

A cone is defined by the half-angle, and is positioned in space by a frame and a reference radius. The main axis of the frame is the axis of revolution of the cone. The plane defined by the origin, the x direction and the y direction of the frame is the plane of the cone. The intersection of the cone with this reference plane is a circle of radius equal to the reference radius. The apex of the cone is on the negative side of the main axis of the frame if the half-angle is positive, and on the positive side if the half-angle is negative. This frame is the “local coordinate system” of the cone. The following apply:

Rotation around its main axis, in the trigonometric sense given by the x direction and the y direction, defines the u parametric direction and the x-axis gives the origin for the u parameter. The z axis defines the v parametric direction of the cone and the origin of the frame is the origin of the v parameter. The parametric range of the two parameters is:

• [ 0, 2.*Pi ] for u, and

• ] -infinity, +infinity [ for v

The parametric equation of the cone is: P(u, v) = O + (R + v*tan(ang)) * (cos(u)*x + sin(u)*y) + v*z where:

• O, x, y and z are respectively the origin, the x, y and z direction of the cone’s local coordinate system

• ang is the half-angle at the apex of the cone

• R is the reference radius.

Parameters:

• frame – Cone’s local coordinate system.

• semi_angle – half-angle at the apex of the cone.

• ref_radius – radius of the circle formed by the intersection of the cone with the reference plane.

fullarcellipse3d_to_2d(fullarcellipse3d)

Converts a 3D full elliptical arc to a 2D line segment in the current plane.

This method converts a 3D full elliptical arc to a 2D line segment in the current plane. It first calculates the length of the arc using the length method of the fullarcellipse3d object. Then, it converts the start and end points of the arc to 2D points using the point3d_to_2d method. Additionally, it calculates a point on the arc at a small abscissa value (0.01 * length) and converts it to a 2D point. Based on the relative position of this point, the method determines the start and end points of the line segment in 2D. If the abscissa point is closer to the start point, the line segment starts from (0, start.y) and ends at (length, end.y). If the abscissa point is closer to the end point, the line segment starts from (length, start.y) and ends at (0, end.y). If the abscissa point lies exactly at the midpoint of the arc, a NotImplementedError is raised. The resulting line segment is returned as a list.

Parameters:
