Create compound polylines with center point arc

[pasc1377]

Hello,

I have not yet found a way to create a compound polyline with one or more center point arcs. Where do I have to enter the angle?
Maybe someone has an idea.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @pasc1377,
Please find below an example that contains a bunch of polylines with 2 angular arcs:

import ansys.aedt.core
from ansys.aedt.core.modeler.cad.primitives import PolylineSegment

m2d = ansys.aedt.core.Maxwell2d(version="2024.2")

ref_points = [
    [0.4, 0, 0],
    [-0.4, -0.6, 0],
    [0.4, 0, 0]]

my_geometry = m2d.modeler.create_polyline(
    points=ref_points,
    segment_type=[PolylineSegment(segment_type="AngularArc", arc_center=[0, 0, 0], arc_angle="180deg", arc_plane="XY"),
                  PolylineSegment(segment_type="Line"),
                  PolylineSegment(segment_type="AngularArc", arc_center=[0, -0.6, 0], arc_angle="180deg",
                                  arc_plane="XY"),
                  PolylineSegment(segment_type="Line")],
    close_surface=True,
    name="test"
)

m2d.release_desktop(False, False)

Generally speaking when you want to create a geometry out of a group of ploylines you define a list of PolylineSegments in the segment_type argument of the create_polyline method.

Hope this helps!
