Rectangle

Visualizing a planar rectangular surface

Diagram

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

This model visualizes a planar rectangle. The center of the rectangle is located at connector frame_a (visualized by the red coordinate system in the figure below). The figure below shows two rectangles of the same parameters

nu = 8,
nv = 3,
length_u = 3,
length_v = 2.

The green rectangle on the right is visualized in wireframe thus highlighting the influence of the discretization. Moreover, the u-axis of this rectangle is modified so that the rectangle is rotated about the z-axis of frame_a.

Parameters (8)

animation	Value: true Type: Boolean Description: = true, if animation shall be enabled
direction_u	Value: {1, 0, 0} Type: Axis Description: Vector along u-axis of rectangle resolved in frame_a
direction_v	Value: {0, 1, 0} Type: Axis Description: Vector along v-axis of rectangle resolved in frame_a
length_u	Value: 3 Type: Distance (m) Description: Length of rectangle in direction u
length_v	Value: 1 Type: Distance (m) Description: Length of rectangle in direction v
nu	Value: 3 Type: Integer Description: Number of points in direction u
nv	Value: 2 Type: Integer Description: Number of points in direction v
wireframe	Value: false Type: Boolean Description: = true: 3D model will be displayed without faces
