Inbuilt method for EllipticCylinder (Python API)

bhaveshshrimali · November 22, 2019, 5:19pm

Hi all,

Is there a way to access the EllipticCylinder function (I can see it here) from the python interface? Something along the following lines

from netgen.csg import *
Cylinder()

I am able to a lot of the primitives, specifically both OrthoBrick and Cylinder but not EllipticCylinder. Am I missing anything ?

I just did a brief check and found out that a binding for EllipticCylinder is missing (in the file below). Am I missing something here? I can access all other functions (Cone, EllipticCone etc.)

using namespace netgen;

namespace netgen
{
  extern shared_ptr<NetgenGeometry> ng_geometry;
}

I think you can use an elliptic cone with ratio r=1 instead.
