Solids Builder - Arc

Arc - creates an arc with center, normal vector, initial angle, final angle and radius informed:

The Arc activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - name of the activity
    The arc name must follow the naming rules
  • Center - name of the point where the center of the circle is
  • Vector - name of the vector normal to the plane of the circle
  • Radius - a VB expression to evaluate the radius value
  • Initial Angle - a VB expression to evaluate the initial angle value in radians, anticlockwise -time counting from the X axis
  • Final Angle - a VB expression to evaluate the final angle value in radians, anticlockwise -time counting from the X axis
  • Object Visible - indicates whether or not the arc should be drawn in the preview
    
    

If the text gets too big/small, or the sphere that represents the point gets too big or small, use the buttons ( A, a, , ) at the top of the screen to change the preview

Properties (for use in VB expressions)

Implements the properties of curves plus:

• Area - area of the circle (real number)
• Radius - radius of the circle (real number)
• StartAngle - Start angle (real number) in radians
• EndAngle - End angle (real number) in radians
• Vector - normal circle vector ( vector)
• Center - center of the circle ( point)

Methods (for use in VB expressions)

implements the methods of the curves
