Cylinder with parallel angled ends, by users equation.

 

For information on the option for users equations, see users equations.

 

Taken from xmpl3d82, tilted channel electron multplier.

The cylinder has radius r = 0.05, length s = 5, and is at an angle phi = 10 degrees to the z axis. Its ends are cut perpindular to the z axis.

The equations, say g1(x,y,z), for the left-hand edge are

x = r*cos(theta), y = r*sin(theta), z = 0, where theta = 0 to pi.

The equations, say g2(x,y,z), for the right-hand edge are

x = r*cos(theta)+s*sin(phi), y = r*sin(theta), z = f*s*cos(phi).

In the usual fashion we can combine these by using the general equation

g(x,y,z) = (1 - f)*g1 + f*g2,

where f goes from 0 to 1.

This reproduces g1 when f = 0, and g2 when f = 1.

The x=0 symmetry plane reflects this shape to give the full range of theta.
