Dear Members;

Can someone please suggest me ideas on how to draw an ellipse in CST MWS. Using Geometric shapes or Curve lines with formulas??

Awaiting replies,
Regards
 

Although I have no experience with CST...
An ellipse is a foreshortened circle. Calculate a circle, but multiply all values on one axis (either x or y axis) by a scaling factor.

@bradtheRad: The description is appreciated but I was looking for the design in terms of CST
 

First change the local coordinate system to the plane on which you want to draw. then to Draw ellipse go to Curves =>draw ellipse as per your specification. once you draw curve then again go to curves=> select either cover planer curve or extrude planar curve depending on if you want the ellipse with zero thickness or with finite thickness.

Regards,
 
@rizwan183: I guess there is no way to draw ellipse with geometric BLOCKS given in CST..I guess I have to work with the curves profile and ellipse basic equations
