ARME

ARME creates a right cylinder originating from an ellipsoid in the YZ plane. Its upper end is straight and parallel to the XY plane.

Syntax

ARME l, r1, r2, h, d

Parameters

l (decimal): overall length of new cylinder (based on YZ plane)

r1 (decimal): radius of the given ellipsoid from which the new cylinder originates

r2 (decimal): radius of the new cylinder

h (decimal): height of ellipsoid

d (decimal): distance from Z axis in Y direction for new cylinders center point

Restrictions of parameters:

r1 £ r2 + d

l £ h*sqr(1-(r2-d)2/r12)

Remarks

The new cylinder is not a solid, therefore no penetration will be calculated. The curves, however, are calculated and drawn.

Usable since script version 1.1 (Allplan 2012-1).
