CADGeometry

class ansys.acp.core.CADGeometry(*, name='CADGeometry', external_path='', scale_factor=1.0, use_default_precision=True, precision=0.001, use_default_offset=True, offset=0.0)

Instantiate a CAD Geometry.

Parameters:

• name (str, default: 'CADGeometry') – Name of the CAD Geometry.

• external_path (str, default: '') – Path to the CAD file.

• scale_factor (float, default: 1.0) – Scale factor applied to the CAD geometry.

• use_default_precision (bool, default: True) – Whether to use the default precision value.

• precision (float, default: 0.001) – Precision of geometrical operations such as intersection points, thickness sampling, etc.

• use_default_offset (bool, default: True) – Whether to use the default offset value.

• offset (float, default: 0.0) – Offset value used to analyze the surface’s coverage regarding the mesh.
