Creating a hollow cylinder using XML FILE

brijithu

From the user guide to XML files I found the following commands, Im using make cylinder, faces
ctecylindertube="0.6"
setdpctes ctecylindercover="0.7"
setdpctes ctecylindernumsides="40"

whats the tube width and cover width?? is it the inner and outer diameter?

Mask means hiding a face or deleting particles in that face?

is it possible to delete particles in a particular face? (open hollow cylinder)

Hi may be it helps but using mk void in your xml you can delete particles such as generating holes
setmkvoid mk "xx"
drawwhatever box ...

... you also could load a cylinder from a stl that has already a hole by itself - see the case pump as a template how to get vtks or stls into dualSphysics ...

Thanks a lot for your reply, however can you please throw light on ctecylindertube="0.6"
setdpctes ctecylindercover="0.7"
setdpctes ctecylindernumsides="40"
as I already modelled the structure using faces , thanks again
