Member Function Documentation
◆ bounding_box()
| def bounding_box | ( | self | ) |
Returns the axis-aligned bounding box of the Entity .
Computes the minimum and maximum coordinates of the Entityxs geometry in X, Y, and Z directions.
.. code-block:: python
# Create a half-sphere of radius
1 cut by the YZ-plane
halfSphere = cubit.sphere
(1.0, 1)
# Compute bounding box as a list
[minX, minY, minZ, maxX, maxY, maxZ]
bbox = halfSphere.bounding_box()
print(f"Bounding Box:
[{bbox[0]}, {bbox[1]}, {bbox[2]}] to [{bbox[3]},
{bbox[4]}, {bbox[5]}]" ) #
prints [0, -1, -1] to [1, 1, 1]
@n return type of : std:: array< double,6 >
- Returns
- : An array (or list) of six values minX, minY, minZ, maxX, maxY, maxZ.
◆ center_point()
| def center_point | ( | self | ) |
Returns the geometric center point of the Entity .
Computes the centroid of the Entityxs geometry based on its current position.
.. code-block:: python
# Create a unit cube (center at
origin)
b = cubit.brick
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
# Check original center
center = b.center_point()
print(f"Original Center:
({center[0]}, {center[1]}, {center[2]})" )
# prints (0, 0, 0)
# Move the cube by (1, 2,
3)
cubit.move
(b, [1.0, 2.0, 3.0], False
)
# Check new center
center = b.center_point()
print(f"New Center:
({center[0]}, {center[1]}, {center[2]})" )
# prints (1, 2, 3)
@n return type of : std:: array< double,3 >
- Returns
- : An array (or list) of three values x, y, and z coordinates of the Entityxs center.
◆ id()
| def id | ( | self | ) |
Retrieves the unique identifier of the Entity .
Returns the integer ID assigned to the Entity upon creation.
.. code-block:: python
# Create a unit cube
b = cubit.brick
(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
# Get and print its ID
id = b.id()
print("Entity ID:" ,
id) # prints 1
@n return type of : int
- Returns
- The integer ID of the Entity.
