HybridShapeCircleCenterTangent

Represents the hybrid shape circle object defined using a center, a curve and a
support.
Role: To access the data of the hybrid shape circle tangent
object.

This data includes:

The center element
The tangent curve
The support
The value of the raduius
and also the type of solution index

Use the CATIAHybridShapeFactory to create a HybridShapeCircleCenterTangent
object.

property begin_of_circle: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property BeginOfCircle() As long

Return or Set the number of the beginning curve of the circle. This
parameter is used to stabilize the resulting circle

Example:

This example set the beginning wire index of
the hybShpcircle hybrid shape circle


hybShpcircle.BeginOfCircle = 1
Return type:

int

property center_elem: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property CenterElem() As Reference

Returns or sets the Center Element of the circle.

Example:
This example retrieves in HybShpCircleCenterCurve the first curve to
which the HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle is Center
curve.

Dim HybShpCircleFirstCurve As Reference
HybShpCircleFirstCurve = HybShpCircle.CenterElem
Return type:

Reference

property diameter: Length

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property Diameter() As Length (Read Only)

Returns the circle diameter. It is expressed as a Length literal. Succeeds
only if DiameterMode is set to True.

Example:
This example retrieves in HybShpCircleDiameter the diameter of the
HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle feature

Dim HybShpCircleDiameter As Length
HybShpCircleDiameter = HybShpCircle.Diameter
Return type:

Length

property diameter_mode: bool

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property DiameterMode() As boolean

Returns or sets the DiameterMode.
Legal values: True implies diameter False implies radius (default). When
DiameterMode is changed, Radius/Diameter value, which is stored will not be
modified.

Example:

This example sets that the DiameterMode of
the HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle feature


HybShpCircle.DiameterMode = True
Return type:

bool

property discrimination_index: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property DiscriminationIndex() As long

Return or set the discrimination index of the current circle. Several
resulting solutions produced by the operator can be same oriented regarding to
the input wire bodies. In such a case, they are sorted in order to distinguish
them. The Sequence FirstOrientation - SecondOrientation - DiscriminationIndex
allows you to identify a unique one-domain solution.

Example:

This example set the discrimination index of
the hybShpcircle hybrid shape circle


hybShpcircle.DiscriminationIndex = 2
Return type:

int

property orientation1: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property Orientation1() As long

Returns or sets the orientation of the first curve to which the circle is
tangent.
Role: The orientation of the first curve determines the side of this curve
taken into account to find the point where the circle is tangent to the
curve.
Legal values: To be provided by Claire (1/-1??)

Example:
This example sets the orientation of the first curve to which the
HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle is tangent to
reverse.

Set HybShpCircle.Orientation1 -1
Return type:

int

property orientation2: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property Orientation2() As long

Returns or sets the orientation of the second curve to which the circle is
tangent.
Role: The orientation of the second curve determines the side of this curve
taken into account to find the point where the circle is tangent to the
curve.
Legal values: To be provided by Claire (1/-1??)

Example:
This example retrieves in HybShpCircleOrientation the orientation of
the second curve to which the HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle is
tangent.

HybShpCircleOrientation = HybShpCircle.Orientation2
Return type:

int

property radius: Length

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property Radius() As Length (Read Only)

Returns the circle radius. It is expressed as a Length literal. Succeeds
only if DiameterMode is set to False.

Example:
This example retrieves in HybShpCircleRadius the radius of the HybShpCircle
hybrid shape circle.

Dim HybShpCircleRadius As Length
HybShpCircleRadius = HybShpCircle.Radius
Return type:

Length

property support: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property Support() As Reference

Returns or sets the circle support surface.
Sub-element(s) supported (see Boundary object): Face.

Example:
This example retrieves in HybShpCircleSupportSurf the support surface
of the HybShpCircle hybrid shape circle.

Dim HybShpCircleSupportSurf As Reference
Set HybShpCircleSupportSurf = HybShpCircle.Support
Return type:

property tangent_curve: Reference

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-07-06 14:02:20.222384)
o Property TangentCurve() As Reference

Returns or sets the tangent curve to which the circle will be
tangent.

Example:
This example sets the tangent curve to which the HybShpCircle hybrid
shape circle will be tangent to TgtCrv.

Set HybShpCircle.Tangent Curve TgtCrv
Return type:
