RectSector3D¶

class acoular.grids.RectSector3D¶

Bases: RectSector

Class for defining a cuboid sector.

This class extends the RectSector class to define a cuboid sector, which can be used for 3D grids. The cuboid sector is defined by its bounds along the x, y, and z axes.

Examples

Load example data and set diffrent Sectors for intergration in the sector integration example.

z_min = Float(-1.0, desc='minimum z position of the cuboid')¶

The lower z position of the cuboid. Default is -1.0.

z_max = Float(1.0, desc='maximum z position of the cuboid')¶

The upper z position of the cuboid. Default is 1.0.

contains(pos)¶

Check if the coordinates in a given array lie within the cuboid sector.

The method checks if the points in the provided position array are within the cuboid defined by the bounds along the x, y, and z axes. If no point is inside the sector, and if default_nearest is True, the nearest point to the center of the cuboid is returned.

Parameters:

posarray of floats

A (3, N) array containing the positions of N grid points, where each point is represented by its x, y, and z coordinates.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray of bools

A boolean array of shape shape (N,) indicating which of the given positions lie within the cuboid sector. True if the grid point is inside the cuboid, otherwise False.

Examples

>>> import acoular as ac
>>> grid = ac.RectGrid3D(increment=2)
>>> sec = ac.RectSector3D(x_min=0, y_min=0, z_min=0)
>>> sec.contains(grid.pos)
array([False, False, False, False, False, False, False,  True])
