Sphere

Sphere feature creates a sphere solid or a part of a sphere solid.

To create a Sphere in the active part:

  1. select in the Main Menu Primitives - > Sphere item or

  2. click Sphere_button.icon Sphere button in the toolbar

There are 2 algorithms for creation of a Sphere

../_images/sphere_32x32.png

By a center and a radius

../_images/sphere_part_32x32.png

By radii (inner and outer) and angle limits (theta and phi)

By a center and a radius

Sphere is created by a center (origin by default) and a radius.

Input fields:

  • Point defines the center of the sphere selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;

  • Radius defines the radius.

TUI Command:

model.addSphere(Part_doc, Point, Radius)
Parameters

  • part – The current part object.

  • object – Vertex.

  • real – Radius.

Returns

Result object.

Result

A solid sphere based on the origin and a radius.

By radii (inner and outer) and angle limits (theta and phi)

Part of sphere is created by radii (inner and outer) and angle limits (phi and theta).

../_images/Sphere_part.png

Input fields:

  • RMin defines the inner radius;

  • RMax defines the outer radius;

  • PhiMin defines the lower phi limit;

  • PhiMax defines the higher phi limit;

  • ThetaMin defines the lower theta limit;

  • ThetaMax defines the higher theta limit.

TUI Command:

model.addSphere(Part_doc, RMin, RMax, PhiMin, PhiMax, ThetaMin, ThetaMax)
Parameters

  • part – The current part object.

  • real – Inner radius.

  • real – Outer radius.

  • real – Lower phi.

  • real – Hiher phi.

  • real – Lower theta.

  • real – Hiher theta.

Returns

Result object.

Result

A solid sphere based on the origin with radii (inner and outer) and angles (phi and theta).
