Creation method
There are two options for creating a Polar Array node.
- The first way to create a Polar Array node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the
workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
- polarArray , pa
- The second way is to select a Polar Array node from the menu that opens from the top left.
- Menu > Tool > Array > Polar Array
Steps
- Create a Polar Array node.
- Connect the geometry to be propagated to the first port.
- Connect the number of propagated geometries to the second port.
- Connect sweep angle in radians (counter-clockwise starting from the x-axis plane) to the third port.
After creating a node, connect the propagation geometry to the first port. Connect the number of propagated geometries to the second port. And the sweep angle in radians (counter-clockwise starting from the x-axis plane) to the third port. On the output port, we will get a result of arrayed geometry.
