Detailed Description

Class for generation of an ellipsoidal shell mesh.

Function Documentation

ellipse_arc_length()

def carputils.mesh.ellipsoid.ellipse_arc_length	(		ax_a,
			ax_b,
			theta1,
			theta2
	)

Calculate the length of an ellipse arc between two angles.

Parameters

ax_a	float Semimajor axis length
ax_b	float Semiminor axis length
theta1	float Start of arc angle
theta2	float End of arc angle

Returns

float The arc length

ellipse_t()

def carputils.mesh.ellipsoid.ellipse_t	(		ax_a,
			ax_b,
			theta
	)

Transform the central angle theta in an ellipse of semimajor axis a and semiminor axis b into the parameteric coordinate t.

Valid on [-pi,pi].

Parameters

ax_a	float Semimajor axis length
ax_b	float Semiminor axis length
theta	float Central angle, must be on [-pi, pi]

Returns

float The ellipse patametric coordinate
