As i learned from the DEMO given by your company, I know that a gold nanorod is composed of three parts: two spheres and one cylinder. Using this method, i can draw vertical or horizontal gold nanorod sitting on substrates. But what can I do if I want a gold nanorod sitting on the substrate with a tilt angle (0<angle<90 degree). If I set a Azimuth degree for the cylinder, the position of the spheres is hard to set, as shown in the attached file. Could someone help me?
Hi Zhong,
There is a bit of added complexity here with the multiple objects, but a simple trigonometric calculation can locate the center points for your spheres. In this case, the center offset could be calculated as (sin(30)*lengthCyl/2).
Since you are already using user variables you could automate this process, and automatically calculate the center points for multiple angles.

Damian
Hi Damian,
Yes, your calculation is right. But I cannot input sin(30) since 30 is the degree, i try input π/6 instead. The system cannot recognize that. 🙁
Try making a new parameter called “pi” and then assigning the numeric value of pi. You can then use “pi” in any of your calculations.
