Hello,

I have a cylinder within a cube and I am wondering if there is an easy way to randomize its orientation so that its properties can be measured for each instance of orientation. This would allow me to average the properties.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hello Alex,

Creating a randomized geometry can be done by scripting either with MATLAB or Java. To do it with MATLAB your license would need to include LiveLink for MATLAB, and of course you'd need MATLAB. To do it with scripting in Java you don't need any additional products. Our team has written several blogs on how to generate randomized geometries with Java scripting. You can find them at this link. If I understand your intentions correctly, the "Swiss cheese blog post" is perfect for you.

Best regards,

Jeff
