DESIGNING A CIRCULAR STAGGERED PATTERN OF OBJECTS

摘要

The invention is directed to computer-implemented method for designing a staggered pattern of objects in a computer-aided design system. The method comprises: - providing a rotation axis that is the origin of two or more concentric circles; - providing a reference object to be multi-instantiated; - defining the number of objects to be instantiated from the reference object on each concentric circle; - defining an angular shift; - instantiating the number of objects from the reference object on each concentric circle, the instantiated objects being spaced according to an angular deviation between two consecutive instantiated objects on a given concentric circle; - in one of every two concentric circle, shifting the instantiated objects in accordance with the angular shift.
