A method of grain3d.

the 2D grains a plane cuts from 3D grains; MATLAB’s slice of grain3d

Syntax

grains2 = grains.slice(plane3d(vector3d.Z, vector3d(0, 0, 2.2)))

A plane3d.

grains2 = grains.slice(vector3d(1, 1, 1), vector3d(1, 1, 2))

Normal and a point on the plane.

grains2 = grains.slice(vector3d.Z, 2.2)

Normal and distance from the origin.

Description

Every grain the plane intersects contributes the polygons of its section, which become grains of a grain2d in the plane; grains2.prop[‘Id3d’] names the 3D grain every section came from, and the sections keep its phase, mean orientation and GOS. The plane is moved by 0.001 towards the origin, as MATLAB’s, so that it runs through no vertex. A plane that cuts no grain gives an empty grain2d.

Input

grains grain3d
plane plane3d, or the normal vector3d of the plane

Keywords

keyword default description
P0 None with a normal: a point on the plane, a vector3d, or its distance from the origin; by default the plane through the origin

Output

grains2 grain2d
