Learn about the Frustum Tool.
For the option: | Do the following: |
|---|---|
Frustum Name | Enter the name of the frustum to modify. |
Center Marker | Specify the marker at the center of the bottom of a frustum. Orient the center marker so that its z-axis is normal to the bottom of the frustum and points towards the top of the frustum. |
Angle Extent | Specify the extended angle measured positive (according to the right-hand rule) about the z-axis of the center marker. The angle starts at the positive x-axis of the center marker and extends the arc of the frustum. |
Length | Specify the height of the frustum. Adams View uses the length value to specify the z distance between the two circles. A positive value specifies a frustum along the positive z-axis of the center marker. |
Side Count for Body | Specify the number of flat sides Adams View draws on the side of the frustum. The number of sides you specify affects the calculations Adams View uses to determine a part’s mass and inertia. |
Top Radius | Specify the radius at the top of a frustum. The top is perpendicular to the center marker z-axis. |
Bottom Radius | Specify the radius at the bottom of the frustum. The bottom is perpendicular to the center marker z-axis, and the center of the bottom is at the center marker origin. |
Segment Count for Ends | Displays the number of segments Adams View uses to draw the circles at the ends of the frustum. |
