Cylinder

The observation cylinder may be defined as a closed cylinder (circular section) or only a cylindrical sector (arc section). The following parameters are required:

  • Name to define the name of this type of observation points. The name must be different of the already defined ones.
  • Base Center coordinates where the base of the cylinder will be placed (in the XY plane).
  • Radius radius of the cylinder
  • Height Coordinates to define the hight sampling rate of the cylinder.
    • Number of points define the number of samples to be generated along the height of the cylinder (in the Z axis).
    • Height defines the total height of the cylinder.
  • Angle Coordinates to define the circular sampling rate of the cylinder.
    • Number of points define the number of samples to be generated along the transversal section of the cylinder (in the XY plane).
    • Initial angle angle where the first circular sample is generated in the transversal section, in degrees.
    • Final angle angle where the last circular sample is generated in the transversal section, in degrees.
