weldx.geometry.Geometry

class weldx.geometry.Geometry(profile, trace_or_length, width='10mm')

Defines a 3 dimensional geometry by extrusion of a 2 dimensional profile.

The path of the extrusion can be chosen arbitrarily. It is also possible to vary the profile along the extrusion path.

Construct a geometry.

Parameters:

• profile (Profile | VariableProfile | IsoBaseGroove) – Profile that is used as cross section along the specified trace

• trace_or_length (Trace | Quantity) – The path that is used to extrude the given profile or a quantity that specifies the length of a linear, horizontal extrusion

• width (Union[Quantity, str]) – If a groove type is passed as profile this parameter determines the width of the generated cross-section. For all other types it has no effect.

Returns:

A Geometry class instance

Return type:

Geometry
