Circular
The grid determines the size and distribution of the lenses over the support.
By default, elements are distributed onto the support according to a rectangular pattern. This distribution can be customized as well as the shape and size of the lens itself.
Axis System
An axis system is required to define the element's orientation and projection on the support.
This axis system is, by default, inherited from the source definition.
Note: If you define manually one axis only, the other axis is
automatically (and randomly) calculated by Speos in the 3D view. However, the other axis in the
Definition panel may not correspond to the axis in the 3D view. Please refer to the axis in the 3D
view.
Circular Grid
Note: Circular grid distribution is not compatible with Flute beam type.
Elements are distributed according to a circular pattern. The following parameters can be set to customize this distribution:
Shift
- None
- Radial
- Circular
Grid Definition
- Start: Interior radius of the feature (mm).
- End: Exterior radius of the feature (mm).
- Step: Radial length of the elements (mm).
- Sectors: Number of angular subdivisions of the feature.
- Angle: Angle made by the sectors (deg).
Circular Edges
The Circular edges option allows you to define Freeform beam elements with circular edges. This option allows you to create a Fresnel lens.
