customArrayGeometry
Create array represented by 2-D custom geometry
Description
The customArrayGeometry
object is an array represented by a
2-D custom geometry on the X-Y plane. You can use the
customArrayGeometry
to import a 2-D custom geometry, define feeds
to create an array element, and analyze the custom array.
Creation
Description
creates a custom array represented by 2-D geometry on the X-Y plane, based
on the specified boundary.array
= customArrayGeometry
creates a 2-D array geometry, with additional properties specified by one or
more name-value pair arguments. array
= customArrayGeometry(Name,Value)Name
is the property name
and Value
is the corresponding value. You can specify
several name-value pair arguments in any order as Name1
,
Value1
, ...
,
NameN
, ValueN
. Properties not
specified retain their default values.
