[Gate-users] How to define a slant cylinder hole through a plate

[Cui, Yonggang]

Hi Catarina,

 

Thanks for your answer. 

 

The cylinder will be Air.  I assume that the cylinder is the daughter of the plate.  If I define the plate as 1 cm thick, the cylinder will be higher than 1 cm so I can get a through-hole.  In this case, the daughter (cylinder) is not included fully in the mother (the plate).  Does this violate the rules of building volume?  From the user's guide,

 

1.	A volume which is located inside another must be its daughter;
2.	A daughter must be fully included in its mother;
3.	Volumes must not overlap.

 

Yonggang

Hi Yonggang
 
I think that you can define the cylinder after define the complete plate, if the cylinder is made of air. Then you should be able to rotate it with the angle that you want.
 
I hope this help you!
