Hello,
I need to mesh half ellipsoid laying in the XY plane on the minor axis a with
major axis along the positive Z.
Based on the demo of the sphere I substitued the circular arcs in the Z
direction with elliptic arc. (below the code)
Unfortuantely the result is not the expected one as the circular section in the
XY cuts along Z are not preserved.
Seems that while for all circular arcs the ruled surface returns an actual
quarter of a sphere, substituting with ellipses the resutling shape it's
deformed.
Do you have any ideas for addressing this?
Thank you,
Carlo
-----Ellipsoid
Point(100) = {0, 0, LensH, cellSize}; //Sphere center
Point(101) = {LensA, 0, LensH, cellSize}; //Sphere X radius
Point(102) = {0, LensA, LensH, cellSize}; //Sphere y radius
Point(103) = {0, 0, LensH+LensB, cellSize}; //Sphere z radius
Circle(110) = {101, 100, 102}; //Sphere XY arc
Ellipse(111) = {101, 100, 103, 103}; //Sphere XZ arc
Ellipse(112) = {102, 100, 103, 103}; //Sphere YZ arc
Line Loop(199) = {110, 112, -111} ; //Sphere slice edge
Ruled Surface (1) = {199}; //Sphere slice surface
t1[] = Rotate {{0,0,1},{0,0,0},Pi/2} {Duplicata{Surface{1};}};
t2[] = Rotate {{0,0,1},{0,0,0},Pi} {Duplicata{Surface{1};}};
t3[] = Rotate {{0,0,1},{0,0,0},3*Pi/2} {Duplicata{Surface{1};}};
Surface Loop(100)={1,t1[0],t2[0],t3[0]};
