Geometry objects and functions

Geometry functions are used to define and modify the Motor-CAD Adaptive Templates geometry using PyMotorCAD. More information on Adaptive Templates is available in the User guide under Motor-CAD adaptive templates scripting.

Geometry objects

Region([motorcad_instance])	Python representation of Motor-CAD geometry region.
RegionMagnet([motorcad_instance])	Provides the Python representation of a Motor-CAD magnet geometry region.
Coordinate(x, y)	Provides the Python representation of a coordinate in two-dimensional space.
Entity(start, end)	Generic parent class for geometric entities based upon a start and end coordinate.
EntityList([iterable])	Generic class for list of Entities.
Line(start, end)	Python representation of Motor-CAD line entity based upon start and end coordinates.
Arc(start, end[, centre, radius])	Python representation of Motor-CAD arc entity based upon start, end, (centre or radius).

Geometry functions

get_entities_have_common_coordinate(...)	Check whether region entities create a closed region.
xy_to_rt(x, y)	Convert Motor-CAD Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates in degrees.
rt_to_xy(radius, theta)	Convert Motor-CAD polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates in degrees.
