TransientGeometry.CreateBSplineSurface Method
Parent Object: TransientGeometryDescription
Method that creates a new BSplineSurface object. The definition of the surface is supplied using the input \arguments. If an invalid surface is defined the method will fail. The object created is a transient mathematical object and is not displayed graphically.
Syntax
TransientGeometry.CreateBSplineSurface( Order() As Long, Poles() As Double, KnotsU() As Double, KnotsV() As Double, Weights() As Double, IsPeriodic() As Boolean ) As BSplineSurfaceParameters
| Name | Type | Description |
| Order | Long | Input array of Longs that specifies the order of the surface in the U and V directions. The size of this array should be 2. |
| Poles | Double | Input array of Doubles that contains the coordinates of the surface. The array contains X, Y, Z coordinates of each pole. The first row of poles along the U direction are specified, then stepping in the V direction the next row of poles along the U direction are specified. The size of this array should be U Pole Count * V Pole Count * 3. |
| KnotsU | Double | Input array of Doubles that contains the knot vectors along the U direction of the surface. |
| KnotsV | Double | Input array of Doubles that contains the knot vectors along the V direction of the surface. |
| Weights | Double | Input array of Doubles that contains the weight factor for each pole for a rational surface. The weights for the first row of poles along the U direction are specified, then stepping in the V direction the weights for the next row of poles along the U direction are specified. |
| IsPeriodic | Boolean | Input array of Booleans that specifies if the surface is periodic in the U and V directions. True if it is periodic False if it is non\-periodic. The size of this array should be 2. |
