ModelPrimitive

class ansys.stk.core.graphics.ModelPrimitive

Bases: IPrimitive

The model primitive loads and renders COLLADA (DAE) and AGI MDL (MDL) models.

Overview

Methods

load_with_string_uri	For convenience. Loads a COLLADA (DAE) or AGI MDL (MDL) model using a file path.
load_with_string_uri_and_up_axis	For convenience. Loads a COLLADA (DAE) or AGI MDL (MDL) model using a file path.
set_position_cartographic	For convenience. Sets the cartographic position of the model. This also sets position.

Properties

uri_as_string	Get the URI of the file used to load the file.
scale	Get or set the linear scale used to increase or decrease the size of the rendered model.
position	Get or set the position of the model. The position is defined in the model’s reference frame. The array contains the components of the position in the order x, y, z.
orientation	Get or set the model’s orientation. The quaternion is a rotation from the model’s local axes to the axes of the model’s reference frame.
articulations	Get the model’s articulations. Articulations identify geometry and contain transformations for manipulating that geometry.

Import detail

from ansys.stk.core.graphics import ModelPrimitive

Property detail

property ModelPrimitive.uri_as_string: str

Get the URI of the file used to load the file.

property ModelPrimitive.scale: float

Get or set the linear scale used to increase or decrease the size of the rendered model.

property ModelPrimitive.position: list

Get or set the position of the model. The position is defined in the model’s reference frame. The array contains the components of the position in the order x, y, z.

property ModelPrimitive.orientation: IOrientation

Get or set the model’s orientation. The quaternion is a rotation from the model’s local axes to the axes of the model’s reference frame.

property ModelPrimitive.articulations: ModelArticulationCollection

Get the model’s articulations. Articulations identify geometry and contain transformations for manipulating that geometry.
