customAntennaStl
Description
The customAntennaStl
object creates a 3-D antenna geometry
and mesh using Stereolithography (STL) files. The STL files are used to define any 3-D
surface in the form of points and triangles.
Creation
Syntax
Description
returns a 3D
antenna represented by a custom geometry, based on the STL file
specified.ca
