Torus
Visualizing a torus
Library
Modelica/Mechanics/MultiBody/Visualizers
Description
Model Torus visualizes a torus. The center of the torus is located atconnector frame_a (visualized by the red coordinate system in the figure below).The left image below shows a torus with ri=0.5 m and ro = 0.2 m.The right images below shows the torus with the additional parametersettings:
opening = 45 degree startAngle = -135 degree stopAngle = 135 degree
In the advanced menu the discretization of the surface visualization can be defined bythe number of points of the inner radius of the torus (n_ri) and bythe number of points of the outer radius of the torus (n_ro).In case the torus is closed (that is, opening = 0 degree),the actual number of points is one less (that is n_ri-1, n_ro-1), because the first andthe last point of the parametrization coincide in this case.
