desc.geometry.FourierPlanarCurve

class desc.geometry.FourierPlanarCurve(center=[10, 0, 0], normal=[0, 1, 0], r_n=2, modes=None, name='')Source

Curve that lies in a plane.

Parameterized by a point (the center of the curve), a vector (normal to the plane), and a Fourier series defining the radius from the center as a function of a polar angle theta.

Parameters:

• center (array-like, shape(3,)) – x,y,z coordinates of center of curve

• normal (array-like, shape(3,)) – x,y,z components of normal vector to planar surface

• r_n (array-like) – Fourier coefficients for radius from center as function of polar angle

• modes (array-like) – mode numbers associated with r_n

• name (str) – name for this curve
