Lap.from_plane_and_beam

classmethod Lap.from_plane_and_beam(plane, beam, length, depth, ref_side_index=0)

Create a Lap instance from a plane and a beam. The lap is defined by the plane given and a plane parallel to that at a distance defined by the length and a given depth. This method is used to create pocket cuts.

Parameters:

planePlane

The plane that defines the lap.

beamBeam

The beam that the Lap instance is applied to.

lengthfloat

The length of the lap.

depthfloat

The depth of the lap.

ref_side_indexint, optional

The reference side index of the main_beam to be cut. Default is 0 (i.e. RS1).

Returns:

Lap
