Pipe

Note: All coordinates are referenced in top view in the program unless otherwise specifiedInput Definitions

• manifold_origin is a 3*1 matrix with x,y,z positions corresponding to the point where the manifold will be drawn
•    manifold_inr is the radius of the inner cylinder
•    manifold_outr is the radius of the outer cylinder
•    rad_hole is the radius of the orifice hole
•    tank_length is the length of the tank
•  orifice_dist is the distance between successive orifices 
  

Technical Program Outline

zoom_win - zooms on a window space

pipe1 - draws a pipe (from the pipe program)

cylinder1 - draws a cylinder with pipe_outr as radius

cylinder2 - draws a cylinder with pipe_inras radius

cylinder3 - is to draw a cylinder for orifice purpose

viewrightside - change view to viewrightside

array1 - draw starting at point p1, n1 -- as many rows as the tank length/orifice dist, n2 - 1 and provide orifice distance as the next draw point for the cylinder

mirror1 - mirror the orifices on to the other side of the pipe at 2*tan(Pi)/3

subtract1 - subtract unneeded portion of the cylinders
