SurfaceEvaluator.getSecondDerivatives Method
Parent Object:
SurfaceEvaluatorDefined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/SurfaceEvaluator.h>
Description
Get the second derivatives of the surface at the specified parameter positions.
Syntax
"surfaceEvaluator_var" is a variable referencing a SurfaceEvaluator object.
(returnValue, partialsUU, partialsUV, partialsVV) = surfaceEvaluator_var.getSecondDerivatives(parameters) |
#include <Core/Geometry/SurfaceEvaluator.h
// Declare the output arguments.
Point2D[] parameters;
Vector3D[] partialsUU;
Vector3D[] partialsUV;
Vector3D[] partialsVV;
boolean returnValue = surfaceEvaluator_var->getSecondDerivatives(parameters, partialsUU, partialsUV, partialsVV);
|
Return Value
| boolean |
Returns true if the second derivatives were successfully returned. |
Parameters
| parameters |
Point2D[] |
The array of parameter positions to get the surface second derivative at. Each parameter position must be within the range of the parameter extents as verified by isParameterOnFace. |
| partialsUU |
Vector3D[] |
The output array of second derivative UU partial vectors at each parameter position specified. The length of this array is equal to the length of the parameters array specified. |
| partialsUV |
Vector3D[] |
The output array of second derivative UV mixed partial vectors at each parameter position specified. The length of this array is equal to the length of the parameters array specified. |
| partialsVV |
Vector3D[] |
The output array of second derivative VV partial vectors at each parameter position specified. The length of this array is equal to the length of the parameters array specified. |
