What shape is the cross section of a cube?
octagonal cross
Whenever we cut the cube with a plane, each edge of the cross section corresponds to an intersection of one of the cube’s faces with the plane. Since the cube has only six faces, it is impossible to cut it with one plane and create an octagonal cross section.
Which shape does the intersection of the vertical plane with the pyramid look like?
a. The pyramid is intersected by a plane perpendicular to the base of the pyramid and through the vertex.
How is the shape of an element deformed?
Figure 9 shows the deformed shape of elements on r-z plane in the vicinity of the origin under the maximum impact force Fmax. The coating thicknesses are all 50 μ m. In the case of the 70/30 brass substrate, there is no significant difference between the shape for μ = 0 and μ = ∞ The coating under the indent keeps almost the same initial thickness.
What should the deform be on a mesh plane?
Using a mesh plane and setting the Deform axis to X or Y will not result in any deformation (Fig a). You expect that the bending should be something like Figure (c) or (d). In a 3D world however, selecting the X axis introduces an ambiguity because bending along the X axis could result in Figure (c) or (d).
How is the deform of an object calculated?
The deformation is calculated in the local coordinate space. Be aware that the local axes of an object can differ from the global ones. In the figure above, the global Z axis points up and the local Z axis points at 45°. The deformation is applied along a Deform axis, which can be set by selection from a list (X, Y or Z).
Where does the scaling occur in a deformed object?
No scaling occurs in the plane of the origin of the object. The maximum scaling occurs at the vertices that are furthest away from the local origin. This can be a positive or negative scaling, depending on the location of the origin. If the local origin is within the object, the deformed object appears tapered.
