Range of additional parallel lines

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am wondering if we can plot the additional parallel lines when the starting point does not start at the original point that is y = 0 in my case. Below is the geometry.

Rectangle:
Width = 0.02
Height = 0.1
Position is at the corner (x = 0, y = 0).


Cut Line 2D:
Point 1 (x = 0, y = 0)
Point 2 (x = 0.02, y = 0)

Additional parallel lines
Distances: range(0,0.005,0.1) ------> When I changed the range to (0.05,0.005,0.1) it does not work. The first line is still at y=0, not y=0.05



Many thanks.

Hi

take care of the "direction" of the line you draw, or select, it might be that you should use a negative increment, it depends on the direction of the line

Good luck

Hi Ivar,


How can I set the direction of the line ?
There are two arrows drawn on the geometry when I plot the additional parallel lines, one is pointing up and another one is pointing to the left.


Many thanks.

Hi

that is normally the coordinates reference marker, you should define the line start and stop points and then add select additional lines
at least in 4.3 you get the red arrow showing the direction and the green the normal direction hence positive displacements for your additional line values

Hi,

Just a small comment about the first line still at y = 0. That is the original cut line that you define as

Point 1 (x = 0, y = 0)
Point 2 (x = 0.02, y = 0)

The additional parallel lines that you add do not replace the original cut line, just adds more parallel lines.

Best regards,
Magnus Ringh, COMSOL
