How to create a x-axisymmetric shell?ΒΆ
An AxiShell
objects represents an axisymmetric computational shell. To define an AxiShell
you need to define its shape (number of azimuthal and longitudinal points) and control points (in x
and r
). The shell is built by the creation of a spline.
from kokiy import AxiShell
ctrl_pts_x = (0.0, 0.2)
ctrl_pts_r = (0.12, 0.12)
angle = 40
n_azi, n_long = 8, 10
shell = AxiShell(n_azi, n_long, angle, ctrl_pts_x, ctrl_pts_r)
The following interactive plot shows the generated geometry:
Tip
angle_min
controls the minimum angle of the shell.
