Pasta Shapes

This example creates pasta shapes with mymesh.primitives using sweep construction methods (Extrude() and Revolve()). These demonstrate how meshes of complex shapes can be constructed starting with a single straight line.

Please submit any new pasta constructions to toj@bu.edu

from mymesh.primitives import Line, Revolve, Extrude
import numpy as np

ziti = Extrude(
            Revolve(
                Line([0,0,0.9],[0,0,1], n=5),
                2*np.pi, np.pi/36, axis=0),
        5, 1, axis=0)
ziti.plot(bgcolor='w', color='#EBCB8B')

penne = Extrude(
            Revolve(
                Line([0,0,0.9],[0,0,1], n=5),
                2*np.pi, np.pi/36, axis=[1,1,1]),
        5, 1, axis=0)
penne.plot(bgcolor='w', color='#EBCB8B')


gomiti = Revolve( # or elbow/macaroni
            Revolve(
                Line([0,0,1.5],[0,0,1.55], n=5),
                2*np.pi, np.pi/36, axis=0, center=[0,0,1.25]),
        np.pi, np.pi/36, axis=1, center=[0,0,0.5])
gomiti.plot(bgcolor='w', color='#EBCB8B')

fusilli = Revolve( # fusilli bucati to be specific
            Revolve(
                Line([0,0,.5], [0,0,.7], n=5),
                2*np.pi, np.pi/36, axis=1, center=[0,0,.5]),
        14*np.pi, np.pi/36, shift=5, axis=0)
fusilli.plot(bgcolor='w', color='#EBCB8B')
