Geom: Geometry Definition Module

Preamble

In this module, a geometry is defined discretely with a great number of points. The discrete geometry is stored in a Converter array (as defined in Converter documentation) and in a CGNS/Python tree zone or set of zones, depending on the selected interface.

This module is part of Cassiopee, a free open-source pre- and post-processor for CFD simulations.

To use the module with the Converter array interface:

import Geom as D

To use the module with the CGNS/Python interface:

import Geom.PyTree as D

Geom.getCurvilinearAbscissa(a)

Return the curvilinear abscissa of a curve a (scalar in range [0.,1.]).

Exists also as in place version (_getCurvilinearAbcissa) that modifies a and returns None.

Parameters: a ([array, list of arrays] or [pyTree, base, zone, list of zones]) – 1D mesh
Returns: the curvilinear abscissa named ‘s’ as an array or as a flow solution at nodes.
Return type: Identical to a

Example of use:

Curvilinear abscissa of a curve (array):

# - getCurvilinearAbscissa (array) -
import Converter as C
import Geom as D
import Transform as T

a = D.line((0.,0.,0.), (1.,0.,0), 100)
a2 = D.line((1.,0.,0.), (1.,1,0), 100)
a = T.join (a, a2)
a3 = D.getCurvilinearAbscissa(a)
a = C.addVars([a, a3])
C.convertArrays2File(a, "out.plt")

Curvilinear abscissa of a curve (pyTree):

# - getCurvilinearAbscissa (pyTree)-
import Converter.PyTree as C
import Geom.PyTree as D

a = D.line((0.,0.,0.), (1.,0.,0), 100)
a = D.getCurvilinearAbscissa(a)
C.convertPyTree2File(a, 'out.cgns')

Geom.getDistribution(a)

Return the distribution (curvilinear abscissa) of a curve as a mesh coordinates.

Parameters: a ([array, list of arrays] or [pyTree, base, zone, list of zones]) – 1D mesh
Returns: the distribution of the curve as mesh coordinates
Return type: Identical to a

Example of use:

Distribution of a uniform NACA0012 profile (array):

# - getDistribution (array) -
import Geom as D
import Converter as C

Foil = D.naca(12., N=49)
a = D.getDistribution(Foil)
C.convertArrays2File(a, 'out.plt')

Distribution of a uniform NACA0012 profile (pyTree):

# - getDistribution (PyTree) -
import Geom.PyTree as D
import Converter.PyTree as C

Foil = D.naca(12., N=49)
a = D.getDistribution(Foil)
C.convertPyTree2File(a, 'out.cgns')

Geom.getTangent(a)

Return the unit tangent vector of all nodes of a 1D array (only structured) as a mesh coordinates.

Parameters: a ([array, list of arrays] or [pyTree, base, zone, list of zones]) – 1D structured mesh
Returns: the unit tangent vector of the curve as mesh coordinates
Return type: Identical to a

Example of use:

Unit tangent vector of a spline (array):

# - getTangent (array) -
import Geom as D
import Converter as C
c = D.polyline([(0,0,0),(1,1,0),(2,-1,0)])
a = D.spline(c, order=3, density=10.)
b = D.getTangent(a)
C.convertArrays2File(b, "out.plt")

Unit tangent vector of a spline (pyTree):

# - getTangent (PyTree) -
import Geom.PyTree as D
import Converter.PyTree as C

c = D.polyline([(0,0,0),(1,1,0),(2,-1,0)])
a = D.spline(c, order=3, density=10.)  
b = D.getTangent(a)
C.convertPyTree2File(b, "out.cgns")
