Overview of RectHelix UDP
- The major difference between the RectHelix UDP and the PolygonHelix UDP is the shape of the cross-sections of the helices. In RectHelix, the shape of its cross-section is a rectangle whereas that of PolygonHelix is a polygon.
- Except for RectHeight and RectWidth, parameters are the same as those in the Polygon Helix UDP. The one figure in this section describes RectHeight and RectWidth.
- For all other parameters, refer to Polygon Helix UDP.
