tidy3d.GeometryGroup#

class tidy3d.GeometryGroup#

A collection of Geometry objects that can be called as a single geometry object.

Parameters

geometries (Tuple[typing_extensions.Annotated[Union[tidy3d.components.geometry.Box, tidy3d.components.geometry.Sphere, tidy3d.components.geometry.Cylinder, tidy3d.components.geometry.PolySlab], FieldInfo(default=PydanticUndefined, discriminator='type', extra={})], ...]) – Tuple of geometries in a single grouping. Can provide significant performance enhancement in Structure when all geometries are assigned the same medium.

Tuple of geometries in a single grouping. Can provide significant performance enhancement in Structure when all geometries are assigned the same medium.

Validated by
  • _geometries_not_empty

inside(x, y, z) bool#

Returns True if point (x,y,z) is inside volume of GeometryGroup.

Parameters
  • x (float) – Position of point in x direction.

  • y (float) – Position of point in y direction.

  • z (float) – Position of point in z direction.

Returns

True if point (x,y,z) is inside geometry.

Return type

bool

intersections(x: Optional[float] = None, y: Optional[float] = None, z: Optional[float] = None) List[shapely.geometry.base.BaseGeometry]#

Returns list of shapely geoemtries at plane specified by one non-None value of x,y,z.

Parameters
  • x (float = None) – Position of plane in x direction, only one of x,y,z can be specified to define plane.

  • y (float = None) – Position of plane in y direction, only one of x,y,z can be specified to define plane.

  • z (float = None) – Position of plane in z direction, only one of x,y,z can be specified to define plane.

Returns

List of 2D shapes that intersect plane. For more details refer to Shapely’s Documentaton.

Return type

List[shapely.geometry.base.BaseGeometry]

property bounds: Tuple[Tuple[float, float, float], Tuple[float, float, float]]#

Returns bounding box min and max coordinates.

Returns

Min and max bounds packaged as (minx, miny, minz), (maxx, maxy, maxz).

Return type

Tuple[float, float, float], Tuple[float, float, float]
