addcustom; |
Adds a custom primitive to the simulation environment. This function does not return any data. |
Example
The following script commands will create a half circle with a radius of 0.5 micron in the XY plane and extrude it along the Z axis.
addcustom;
set("create 3D object by","extrusion");# y = sqrt(0.5^2-(x-0.5)^2)
set("equation 1","sqrt("+num2str(0.5)+"^2-(x-"+num2str(0.5)+")^2)");
set("x span",1e-6);
set("y span",1e-6);
set("z span",2e-6);
The same equation can be used to create half a sphere by rotating the half circle rather than extruding it.
addcustom;
set("create 3D object by","revolution");# y = sqrt(0.5^2-(x-0.5)^2)
set("equation 1","sqrt("+num2str(0.5)+"^2-(x-"+num2str(0.5)+")^2)");
set("x span",1e-6);
set("y span",1e-6);
set("z span",2e-6);
