APPENDIX B - Constraints Nested Primitive Geometry |
|---|
When a <Primitive Geometry> contains a <Union Of Primitive Geometry> for nesting reasons, the resulting geometry shall be coplanar. Only <Polygon>, <Ellipse>, <Line>, <Arc>, and <Point> <Primitive Geometry> can have nesting, except for <Elliptic Cylinder> with <Finite Element Mesh> (see below).
The possible combinations at any level of nesting are as follows.
| CLASS | PRIMITIVE GEOMETRIES THAT CAN BE NESTED |
|---|---|
| <Polygon> | <Polygon> <Ellipse> <Line> <Arc> <Point> <Finite Element Mesh> |
| <Ellipse> | <Polygon> <Ellipse> <Line> <Arc> <Point> <Finite Element Mesh> |
| <Line> | <Line> <Arc> <Point> |
| <Arc> | <Line> <Arc> <Point> |
| <Point> | <Point> |
| <Elliptic Cylinder> | <Finite Element Mesh> as an interior 3-D mesh |
<Finite Element Mesh> cannot nest.
When a <Primitive Geometry> contains a <Union Of Primitive Geometry> for nesting reasons, the relationship means that the union represents a "subface" of the <Primitive Geometry>, i.e., it is part of the <Primitive Geometry>.
